    I used WTB Bronson’s for most of the summer, I think they’re aimed at more mixed conditions and there’s an even more specific ‘dry’ tyre in the range, but were great in the dry for me.

    Geax Saguaro are pretty grippy but not too deep a tread
    . TNT version is heavier with strong sidewalls.

    Racing Ralph 2.25s are my choice for that kind of riding.

    I like 29-3s but currently have Spesh Purgatorys to give more bite in UK mud and will likely leave them on to deal with the thicker layer if loose pebbles we get round our way in the Spring & Summer.

    Admittedly the 26″ version (but I’d imagine, 29″ is the same), but swapped to Maxxis Cross Mark yesterday (front and rear) and they’re brilliant. Really really great. When the front does break away, it’s predictable and slow understeer and the back stays glued. When it gets very firm, the rolling resistance (lack of it) is again brilliant.

    I was running tubed at 35-40psi. I think I’ll try a little softer at the front tomorrow.

    My riding is in THailand. I’d imaging, pretty similar to yours. Hard, dusty… When it hits rainy season, I think I’ll need something different.

    Any of the above, but I’d definitely go with a wider tyre – 2.25.
