Hi all,

I am looking to buy a hybrid for road use over the next few weeks so will be using my boardman pro ht on trails etc.

Im not too confident when using the speedkings on the pro so could someone advise an all round tyre that will be suitable for trails etc.

Many Thanks

Matt

    Cue Cooldad. :)

    Nobby Nics would fit the bill.

    As a total novice I read about people having wider tyres on the rear and vice versa...is this something i need to be looking at ?

    Thanks

    If you have odd sized tyres you have wider on the front......

    I like Panaracer Fire XC pro.

    10 people will give you 10 different opinions on their favourite tyres/combinations. Personally I like Maxxis Ignitors for most conditions, 70 on the back, Exception (soft) on the front.
