Hi guys,
I'm looking for some new tires for my mtb which im slowing fitting out for bikepacking. I usually do a mix of terrain from road, gravel, field and forest. I live in the UK so the varied weather and seasons means I need a solution which will be a good jack of all trades in as many conditions as possible, and something which is fairly puncture resistant. I'm also interested in whether I should look for different tyres for front/rear. Any recommendations would be much appreciated!
Cheers
Trevor

I have done a couple of bike packing weekends recently on my hardtail and used Specialized Purgatory on the front and Ground control on the rear, both in Grid flavour and both 2.3”.
