We are going to NC to ride in a couple of weeks and I was throwing around the idea of putting on a bigger tire on the front of my bike. Right now I have a 2.35 Nevegal up there. I was thinking something more like a 2.5-2.7, but closer to the 2.5. I was wondering if you guys had any suggestions. I'm looking for something that is grippy and relatively light for it's size. Any suggestions? I was looking at Bontrager big earls. The 2.7 isn't too heavy and I've heard good things.
