    Mountain bike tyres and grip are a complex subject.

    It depends a lot on the ground conditions - it is wet or dry, is it sandy, muddy, rocky? Has the conditions changed where you are riding due to weather changes?

    Part worn tyres can have reduced grip over new tyres.

    Tyre pressure has a big effect on grip as well. Try lowering your pressure and see if the grip improves.
