Cheap UST XC tyres…?

Hi,

Where's the best place to get some cheap UST tyres from? Need some new rubber for the Grizedale Challenge.

Thanks.

P.S. Why are UST tyres so much more expensive????

P.P.S I was a mountain bike rider before I was a roadie 🙂

Should I change my username?

I'd go for maxxis crossmarks or racing ralphs (ralph are more expensive).

have a look at spesh 2bliss tyres

Look at LUST or tubeless ready for lighter, cheaper alternatives.

and 2bliss as i said

2Bliss isn't UST in the proprietary Mavic sense; they are 'tubeless ready' like Bontrager and GEAX TNT tyres – need sealant to stop the carcass leaking air as they aren't non-porous like UST tyres. UST tyres don't actually need sealant to mount if running on a UST rim, only needed for puncture sealing.

One reason I suspect tyres with the UST logo are so expensive is that the tyre manufacturers have to pay Mavic to use the logo?!

i know – was intimating using 2 bliss as they are similar to tubeless ready

Must admit that I've been very impressed with the GEAX Saguaro TNT I've been running at the rear for a few months now – certainly tougher than other 'tubeless ready' tyres I've tried. Shredded a Bontrager TLR tyre on the second ride!

GEAX Saguaro TNT here too, got one for £24 & one for £30, new.

Got Kenda Nevegal Tubeless for 25 quid each on CRC.
