    Nick up front Ralph on back, great combo for nearly anywhere!

    That said I ride Maxxis Ardent up front and Aspen out back, superb combo!

    Oh dear, can I complicate matters and say that I would personally go for the cinders.... :oops:

    I have used both for quite some time - kept the cinders but sold the NN & RR. I didn't find the NN / RR very good on technical stuff. Might be just me and the way I ride, but I found they gripped for a bit but them let go quite suddenly and unpredictably. Given the choice it would be cinders every time :D

    Sorry!

    I just ran the place with Nobby Nics, its bone dry at the moment so maybe a bit overkill but on the looser ground it really did inspire confidence.

    This weekend? Surely Ralph's. Why would you need anything with more tread. We've had barely a few days rain since Christmas (even in wales).

    Whatever you normally use. The ground is pretty varied, but bang in the middle, any all round tyres will be fine!
