I'm giving up on summer tyres. I fitted a set of Maxxis Advantage & hoped for the best :(
I have had a look and mud tyres look very expensive and narrow. Can anyone recommend a good, reasonably priced pair and point me as a good deal?

    I found the WTB Velociraptor very good; they are different front and rear.

    Cr4p on the road or hard surfaces, but on soft ground, absolutely fantastic.

    On-one have Geax Datura for £13 each http://www.on-one.co.uk/i/q/TYGXDTTT-26 ... k___22inch

    I am trying one of those up front with a 1.8 Mud-x at the back for £22 http://www.ride-bikes.com/products.php?mode=search

    I too have given up - tried surrey hills with the nevegals last week and the clogged with mud constantly, were draggy and no grip in the gloop...

    I would guess that the Geax tyres would be OK front and rear if you want something really cheap.

    Oh and the reason they are narrow is supposedly to cut through the mud rather than float across the surface.

    I think its a bit of a juggling act (in more ways that one) to find the width that works best for you though.
