Hi,

Ive agreed to take part in a CX race next week, the tyres my bike has are Black Mamba's. I want a tyre which is better in slippery mud.

Ive looked at Challange Limus but at £55 each then its out of my price range at this moment in time.. can anyone recommend a tyre in the region of £30 - 35

thanks

    Vittoria XM aren't bad at all. The tread doesn't look very aggressive, but it's deceptive; they clear very readily, which is the key thing. If I was using clinchers I'd happily race on them.
    Clement PDX are a bit more aggressive (like a Limus) but come up pretty wide as clinchers, so avoid if you have any concerns about frame clearance.
    Pannier, 120rpm.

    Not the tubeless versions, but with a latex tube these will perform very well indeed. Better than Limus by all accounts.

    Schwalbe CX Pro - can be had very cheap - same basic tread pattern as the Vittoria mentioned earlier..

    PDXs, cheap, very aggressive, clear well and can be run at low pressures.
