Currently building up a Cove Stiffee 2010 and i've got a set of Mavic 823 rims with Hope Pro 2 hubs for it.
I'm wondering what tubeless tyres are best to go for? I cant find much info via the search about which tyres are best for Freeride and Dirt Jumps.
Also wanting to buy a faster rolling set for using at XC events.
Prefer if CRC sold them as I am going to put in a decent order and take advantage of their 10% off deal they have going on til tomorrow night.

Cheers
Andrew

    Can't speak for UST, I decided just to use regular tyres and sealant, which has worked perfectly for me so far.

    This is my experience in using UST tyres around South Wales, so I guess a far bit of trail centre riding:
    Bontrager Jones - Ripped side wall after just 3 rides. Was I just unlucky? Maybe but it was a very light tyre with thin side walls.
    Continental - Ripped side wall after couple of months but never really trusted tyre as it had habbit of washing out on the back. Or was it poor technique? Few of my mates have also had these rip on them.
    Kenda Navegal - Punctured on second ride, (rear tyre) doing the Brecon Beast. Tyre didn't seem very high on the rim but grip was good. Again was I just unlucky. Am still using 1 on front of my hardtail and doquite like it.
    Panaracer XC pro - Ok but expensive
    Maxxis high roller - Very predictable on hard pack, not so good in mud. But don't get super tacky CRC always have them on offer.
    Maxxis Advantage - Again very predictable I like these.

    As i said my experience only, but the Maxxis tyres do seem to outlast others
