Tyres....

Hi

So the price of Panaracer Cinders has gone up to £25, so this means £50 for a set of tyres which in my book is expensive! What are as good as these in all conditions (that means from thick mud to dry condition's to road use)? I know Panaracer do a cheaper version of the Cinder but they don't last 5 minutes. What are the Fire Xc Kevlars like, anyone used them??? Oh and it must be a 2.1 profile, as a 2.25 is a bit to big for my Maxlight.

Cheers

Seems expensive, but compared to people who buy 80 quid stems I would say tyres are bargains, great way to lose weight and increase performance!

Speed Kings are getting good eviews for all round riding.

it is important to spend as much as you can on tyres. it is often a mistake to plump for cheaper versions of tyres as dont forget, they are the only thing keeping you on the ground!!

as for 2.1 tyres, i like the maxxis high roller in 2.1 flavour, quite narrow to be honest but very light, grippy and excellent grip in most conitions.

i think they can be had for about 20 quid each last time i looked.

XC Pros (with the DSG(?) compound) are excellent.
