Currently running Maxxis High Roller 2.35 60A front and rear and it's lovely front wise but I'm having trouble when the going gets muddy on the rear. And find myself and getting no traction whatever gear I'm in. What tyre will compliment a Highroller on the front. Any ideas?

Not full on bog, but enough to feel squishy in parts and the rest just gravel and loose.0 -
Have you tried reversing the current High Roller on the back to give you better drive traction?
If that doesn't work you probably need to be think about getting a mud tyre and I wouldn't want to be running a mud tyre on the back with a High Roller on the front so you would need to be looking for a pair. Continental Baron's are good in mud but also still work well on harder surfaces, not cheap though.0 -

Yeah I used run it the wrong way when I first got it. Would a 2.1 out back make a difference or a Advantage. I don't know if Ineed full on mud tyres yet. Just a good all rounder.0 -
2.1 is far worse than the 2.35 so yes it would make a difference but not a good one IMO. The Advantage is a pretty good shoveler so is good at driving through mud but honestly I still think the High Roller and Advantage are too different to work well together, the Advantage is far better on loose stuff than the High Roller but then the High Roller has more outright grip on hard surfaces which aren't loose. The Advantage makes a pretty good front tyre as well though so take what you will from that.0
