If you're on a budget then Michelin XC All Terrain for a tenner at on-one is a steal

i can spend 50 tops
looked at the kendas and there about 850g isnt that a little heavy for a tyre?0 -
you're looking at sub 650g ideally0

is this ok for both? says stick-e compound on sides and stiffer in the center? 630g whats better and 2.1 size... also wiggle so i can get £5 discount and money back... 0

That'll be the UST ones? The folding DTC 2.1 is about 620g, the stick-e just a little heavier. Not light but pretty much average for a tough, knobbly tyre of this size.
(worth mentioning on sizes, that Kenda do come up to the sizes they say on the side usually, unlike some others- the 2.1 Highroller is tiny, the 2.35 Highroller is barely bigger than the 2.1 Nevegal, for instance)Uncompromising extremist0 -
i ment to link on my previous post... is this the onse - http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/cycle/7/Kenda_Tomac_Nevegal_DTC_Mountain_Bike_Tyres/5360028563/
i can get 2, 2.1 for 39.10 with my discount so if they are correct then its a steal in my eyes.0 -
That's the one I'd recommend for the rear. For the front, the stick-e folding compound is, well, stick-e-er

Don't get me wrong, there are other great tyres, but these are my fit-and-forgets, done everything from mcmoab to fort william dh to easy "natural" XC rides to tarmac commuting on them. They're terrible for commuting but they did fine for everything else Uncompromising extremist0 -

a good range of kends, maxxis and conti tyres, free delivery and a discount if you get a pair,
just be careful if you opt for continental tyres as i have found out their sizing is all to cock0 -

i can get them cheaper on wiggle because of a £5 discount...the pair will be like £37 ish but thank anyway0 -
Oh, the other thing... Check ebay, there's always loads of tyres because people get bikes and swap on their favourites, or they try 4 different brands to decide which one to use. I think I've only bought one new tyre since I started riding again, all the rest were very lightly used, but you get them for about half price.
Or maybe that's just me being a scaff.Uncompromising extremist0 -
for £40 for a pair, spesh eskar 2.3 upfront (55a/65a) with spesh captain rear 2.2 (70a/60a)0

It's not quite the same as pulling them out of a bin mind, I'm pulling them out of an e-bin.Uncompromising extremist0
