Continental V Panaracer tyre

Hi guys, i`v just been given the dream chance to purchase a nearly new boardman FSA team at a knockdown price , this is a dream come true for me , as i`v never owned anything that good before, however, this bike has Continental Speedking tyres on it fitted from standard, looking at these tyres they just look a little to soft and open spaced for muddy/wet rock control, my current tank has Panaracer Fire pro`s on it, anyone reckon it would be a wise move to fit the Panaracer in the Continental`s place, any comments or usage issues welcome, cheers guys

Yes definitely. Fire Pro is a great tyre, Boardman is a great bike. Enjoy the bike.

+ potato. Fire XC pro's are great all-round tyres !

If you've got to choose from the 2 worst tyre companies, I'd go with Panaracer

Ah, fair play actually, Michelin are just as bad.

speed kings are great in the dry, roll fast, light, good cornering grip. Also shed mud very well. But slippery on wet rock, roots and leaves.

cheers guys, that made my mind up,lol, i thought the conti`s would be ok for dry track riding n road, but thought the tread just spaced to far apart for wet riding/rocks n roots, cheers guys,,,need to swap the pedals also to get rid of the cheapy nasty plasticky wellgo`s n put my V8`s on it, cant wait to get riding it
