Need help here guys, I can't decide which tyres to use this winter.

Maxxis highrollers, Kenda Nevegals or panaracer cinders????

    Depends on local conditions. I would say those 3 are more "all round" tyres that specifically winter tyres. If your local area is well drained or you ride at dedticated trail centres then they would be good choices, but in mud something like a Bonty Mud X or Panaracer Trailraker would fare better.

    Trailrakers are very good in the oxfordshire mud but slow.

    Realistically you've got the choice between grippy and slow

    I live near coed llandegla in North Wales and tend to combine their trails with my own local loop. Like you said, those tyes would be ok for the trail centre but my other routes can and do get very muddy/wet. So i'm probably best looking at the bonty's or trailrakers.
    Thanks for the advice.
