edited January 2008 in MTB buying advice
i am after a set of tyres, mainly for freeride use. i have dmr moto diggers at the moment (26 X 2.35) and need something a bit slimmer, so i can get a bit more mud clearance.
At the moment i have only got about 2 mm .
any advice on which tyres i should/ could buy?

    thanks will have a look in work tommorow to see if they have 2.1's, although i am not too sure on the red.
    any other suggestions.

    i have heard that maxxis holy rollers are a good tyre, do these perform well as a freeride tyre?

    Maxxis do High Rollers in 2.1 and 2.35. They tend to come up thin though, maybe 2.35s will be ok. What frame do you have?

    a specialized fsr dh, i have the dmr moto diggers (2.35's) on it at the moment but have about 1mm between the tyre and the frame, so i think 2.1's will be the way to go. however i will try the 2.35's on at work and decide whether or not they have enough clearance.
