Hi I can get these for £20.00 each at the minute and not sure if there any good.

I've got a Boardman Team fs and the conti mountain kings were brilliant in the summer / damp but are dreadful in the full wet that we are having at the minute. SO at the minute im running a rubber queen a the front and a mountian king at the back as the rubber queen will not run on the back without rubbing the chain stays.

So Im looking for some new ones.

Maxxis Ignitor Mountain Bike Tyre - 26" x 2.1 and Maxxis Advantage Bike Tyre - 26" x 2.1" anygood are both £20.00 each and not sure what to pick.

At the minute I only ride the local trails in east riding of yorkshire and its very sticky but just need more grip.

Thanks

I use Ignitors all year - soft (Exception) compound.

Use an ADvantage on the front as a winter tyre

I have a set of Advantage in the garage. Used them two or three times I think, they are useless in wet & dry.

Quite like Advantages as a front tyre I find them pretty good in loose rubbly rooty conditions but maybe not the best choice for sticky mud.

No, not good for sticky mud....ignitors might be better then

I used to use them, they were best for trail centre type surfaces I found, not much good on anything loose/rooty.
