Im looking into buying some tires. I got some nice panaracers a while ago but they are worn down. I really need some dh, jump, urban tires. The intense and arrow ones are expensive. My friend has teh tioga dh but i dont think they'l be good on teh front. im looking for a front and rear specific can fit a 2.7 on front and about a 2.3 on rear. Any sugestions?

DH, jump, and urban eh? You really get what you pay for. How much DH do you do? If not much, you can prob get by with cheaper threads. If not, I would really stick with Intense or Arrow. What's wrong with the Tiogo DH up front?

I'm all about Michies...
For DHing, I use the 2.5 - there are superb tires and soft but not overly soft that will wear out too fast like Highrollers SuperTacky (w/c I also liked).

For my DS (whenever I get to race it for DS) bike, jumping and urban (but mainly trail/freeriding), nothing beats the HotS tires. You just can't ran the tires at too low of a pressure bec there aren't any stiff casing on them.

others:
WTB Motoraptor (if you live in the muddy area forget these, they cake up so much)

Maxxis Highrollers

That's it... I'm gonna kick your butt.

How dare you bust on the Moto's!!!

(Actually, I have Arrow PW's and Maxxis Mob's on my DH bike and they ROCK!!! I use the WTB's on my DS/Trail bike and they suit that purpose well. Light, meduim traction (compared to DH ones), fast tires.

yo,

thanks. i can spend about 30-50 bucks (american) I need something that'l last but is sticky too. The intense ones are nice but expensive. I mostly do urban riding though a bit of dirt jumping and northshore stuff. The tiogas are okay though my friend riped a huge hole through his. An there not really directional. Thanks

I just got a pair of Intense Comp 50 (sticky!) tires, a 2.35 and a 2.7 from Wheel World online for a total of $70 shipped ($29 a piece) THEY ARE INSANE TIRES

I have tried the tioga pro 2.5 in the front and i think is the best tire...And it works in all kind of terrain

i got some Maxxis 2.7 Mobster for the fron which is AWESOME.. and i have a Michlien 24.1 Rear tire in 2.5 and its one of the best gripping rear that i have had.

maxxis highroller on the back and the biggest tyre you can fit thru your forks on the front, simple.
