John Shrewsbury Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 sweet i was thinking of the high roller, just seemed abit bulky for park john you running the 2.7 or the 2.5 on urs?Got a 2.7, but i may try a halo or tioga again. To get the bike lighter on the rear, I run my tyres at 60 psi anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewoomaster Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Go for maxxis swapthings 2.5 there a sweet ride, i been runing them for few months and got to say there much better than high rollers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenda and Schwalbe do some decent tires too.Hard pressures are best too, running 80psi in my front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Harding Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 luke ,iam using a maxxis swampthing. when we were ridding the other day and you got that pinch , i was rimming out on the same wall and it held well, grip wise and sidewalls seemed thick when i put it on. 2.5 about 20 quid?? from chainreaction.
