Hi, wonder if someone can give me some advice on the tyres i'm looking at?

I have High rollers 2.35 super tacky at the moment but for the Duathlon I did yesterday in Chichester they almost killed me as the climbs came one after another!

So i'm looking at tyres now with better rolling speed but generally good all round.

torn between Maxxis Advantage FR 2.4 60a
or Maxxis Ignitor FR Lust 2.35 60a

Im riding an Orange 5 but don't do so much down hill now, more xc or Duathlons.

Any advice would be cool :)

    The Maxxis Ignitor FR Lust are Dam good tyres you really can't fault them. Loads of grip and roll really fast. I'm a massive fan esp in LUST format.

    The bike came with conti speed kings and I had to get rid of them as I was getting punctures nearly every time I went out! :)

    If you want high volume with low rolling resistance look at the Bonty XR4s in 2.35. I have them and they are ace, whilst being more of an all rounder than the XDXs.
