Wich mud tire is good, some days ago I used a copy from the IRC mud , they work good but in the calification one almost desapear with a rock, so what do u thing should I use?

Servus!

I recommend Continental Vertical Pro 2.3 for mud. Good tread for digging deep and finding harder ground. Good all arond traction as well.

I agree with Ranger. I just bought a Vertical Pro 2.3 and it's probably the best tire I've ever had. I went DH to Mont Ste-Anne last weekend, it was very muddy and with a lot of dead leaves on the ground. The tire performed just great!

I don't know if it is possible to find it anymore but I also have a very strange tire: Panaracer Spike Rear. It is abolutely insane!!! The lenght of the knobs is incredible... It is just great for climbing muddy section...but it sucks big time on dry terrain!

 

[Ranger]

Servus!

That thing is a BEAST!!!! I would be afraid that someone might run me over with it....

OR the Maxxis Swampthing's.

that michelin seems to be great, have you heard about tiogas mud tire?? a friend bought one..Im gona find a picture of tiogas like that, but those look great

 

[PApa MoNo]

wHAT do you think about those??, tiogas mud 1.85

 

[VTinCT]

The Tiogas kick a$$! but they tend to wear pretty quick.

Well now we have mud and snow here in the interior. I have freddies revenge for deep winter but what about mixed mud and snow?

Gotta go for those Michelins. I have a front one and they are mint.
Forget the Tiogas, they are too narrow at 1.85 and the sidewalls are very thin - not good as a downhill mud tyre (no Tiogas are good once you have tried Michelins).

if you want even better grip and mud clearance, just cut/trim the upper side knobs.

Thanx for that, i have never know wich ones to cut, the bigest problem is that I dont have one of those

Wouldn´t that decrease the cornering habilities?

 

[PApa MoNo]

But im not sure because i have never ride thoe tires...maybe acadian can answer that

 

[vitox]

why are those knobs there in the first place?
to increase wear resistance?

maybe pezzo can answer that........

Can't beat the Conti Survival Pro for an aggressive non-DH mud tire. It's built for control...not (pedal-powered) speed...and it's not a DH casing. But you can get the pro-tection tire which has a reinforced sidewall and is only a few grams more. It's pretty narrow for a 2.3, and rolls slowly due to the large tread knobs, but hooks up very very nicely and sheds like a cat.

All in all, perhaps not the best all-rounder, but works better in loose (mud or sand) than anything else I've tried. My 2 cents...good luck.

I too agree with Ranger about the 2.3 Vertical Pro. I run one rain or shine! The best tire I've seen since the Farmer John!!!!
