Looking at getting some new tyres. Basically want something that grips well on all terrain in all conditions. Was thinking of going for a mud or winter specific tyre but then I figured that, at least where I ride, the summer has been muddier than the winter!

Has anyone ridden both the XC Pro and the Cinders? Which are the best all round tyres?

Cheers

    I've had both on bikes in the past and the only difference I could notice was the Cinders didn't steer as well because they were bigger (I had 2.1 XC Pros and 2.25 Cinders).

    A Rampage on the back may reduce your rolling resistance, coupled with a Cinder on the front.

    Or other all rounders to consider are Maxxis High Rollers or Ignitors, Bontrager Jones ACX, Kenda Nevegal/Blue Groove (a good combo - DTC Nevegal rear, Stick-e Blue Groove front).
