So I've just moved to a 29er bike. Normally on a 26er I will always use Panaracer XC Fire Pro, but I'm less clued up on 29er tyres.

From what I've read, Maxxis Ignitor 29 x 2.1 with the exo casing are quite a suitable choice for the types of environment that I plan to be riding in. Mud, hard pack, gravel, shale chips (or similiar) basically everything but deep mud.

Has anyone got any thoughts on them?

    (I haven't used the 29er versions but) Ignitor is a classic allrounder. Specialized's Purgatory also worth a look- I wish the rubber was just a tiny bit softer but they're still really good

    You wish the rubber was a little softer on the Ignitor or the Purgatory?

    The Purg- it's a really good tyre but can be a wee bit slippy on wet rock.
