I'm currently runny some Michelin Mountain Dry's found them to be fast rolling and reasonably responsive. I am running 2.3 so from that anything smaller is going to be faster rolling again.

would a fast rolling tyre be better on country pak routes?

What weather are you riding in, with the summer coming up I'd say dry but it depends where you live lol.

Hey it's dry is some places lol

Ive always ridden dry cut tyres or massive phat ones so it doesn't make much of a difference lol

But I recommend them for dry conditions but wet I have no idea always sunny in Cyprus :-D

just fitted some schwalbe racing ralphs and tried them around sherwood pines today very fast rolling with plenty of grip so should be alright around your county park.

Continental speed kings 2.1 fast cheap grippy enough for that kind of riding.

I've got Panaracer Fire XC pro 2.1 and they work well on the chase trails and local disused railway trails, reasonble on the road too, for short distances.

Racing Ralphs brilliant and v fast, last longer tthan what people say aswell, not cheap though

Merlin were doing 2 RRs for £46 a few weeks ago, don't know if that offers still running, but it beats the £35-£40 each from other places.
