Panaracer Cinder 2.25" are my favorite.........Great in mud, great in dry.........best all around tire.........
I was doing a quick look last night online looking to buy new tires.........Do they still make the Cinder? I didn't find many places carrying them anymore _________________ greg

WTB Velicoraptor is a great mud tire.
I still love my Nevvie/Groove combo. |

You haven't seen my unicycle?
Actually, I use the same set-up as Rob, though I have used the Velociraptor, which is awesome at shedding mud. I think two tire levers were broken after trying to get that sucker off in the spring, however. |

Nevegals seem to work pretty well, but the 50 durometer rubber can still slip a bit, unless you drop the pressure. Maybe it's my bike (well, maybe not because I have Nevegals on all 3), but I tend to need to lean the bike way into the turn for Nevegals to hook up - it's not a bad thing ,just different.
Maxxis DHF/DHR's in 42A durometer grip well and clear OK in the mud, but they wear out fast...I think you can get them in 2.3-2.7 size, but they run small (ie, a 2.3 maxxis is a 2.1 Kenda) _________________ Elevate Cycles|FTW Factory Racing|Blah|Blah|Blah |

I dont think a mud specific tire is what's best for fall riding.
Mainly a tough 2.2 or 2.3 like the Cinder, Trailbear, Nevegal, etc.
Tough and fat because the leaves hide sharps and slickness.
Pretty much what "all mountain" tires I ride year round.
Tubeless is my preference and the Kenda Kinetic was great. The Blue Groove in 2.1 UST was not. Im also liking the Geax Sturdy as a rear for the hardtail.
The 2.1 and 2.3 Spiders are a great all arounder, but are not the best for rocky conditions both for grip and durabliity.
Another plus with these big x/c tires is they're ok in snow.
I use half a scoop more sealant for fall/winter and higher tire/lower shock pressure. _________________ Pedal, b*tches!! |
