Need some advice. Currently running panaracer fire XC pro 2.1's with supertubes to make them a bit more pinch flat resistent,(i suffer badly with these as i'm built like a brick sh*t house and the back end of my hardtail takes a battering as a result). I was looking for a more summer orientated faster rolling tyre. Any recommendations for the south downs way?

    I ride infrequently on the downs and generaly stick to my fire xc pro's, but if you wanted something faster maybe a conti speedking the downs tend not to be to technical and it should be bone dry at the moment.

    Stick with what you got. SDW this time of the year, will be grippy, and hardpacked. No pinches, nothing technical. If it is wet, no tyre will be of much benefit :lol:
