    but that is a fat tyre - the 2.1 might roll a bit better. Also there are 1/2 dozen different types.

    The DTC and Stick-E folding tyres are good.

    It does also depend on the type of terrain you ride on e.g. clay, mud, forrest tracks etc & also to some part how your ride your bike.

    As per previous post there are lots of different size and tread patterns to consider.

    Perhaps ask someone local to you who you ride with or your LBS will certainly make some recommendations for you if you let them know where your ride and what the conditions are like.
    Pain hurts much less if its topped off with beating your mates to top of a climb.
