1337 Trials Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 Hello! My dmr motto tyre has got slits in the sidewalls so its time for a new tyre. I have a kenda nevegal 2.35 on the front. I often ride on concrete but sometimes go riding in wood land but barely ever go riding real wet/slippy mud. Im thinking I should get a Kenda Nevegal DTC Tomac 2.1 for the rear for £22? Are there any cheaper alternatives which will suit my requirements? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomm Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Depends what level of grip you want. Something like a Maxxis Larsen TT or Crossmark are pretty fast rolling on smooth ground but they've got decent side knobs for corner traction.

Tomm Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 Something like that yeah. The problem is it's always going to be a compromise - bigger tyres better for off road, skinnier tyres better for roads / park riding. Depends what you do more of, and when you need the tyre to perform best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1337 Trials Posted May 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 Im keeping a chunky 2.35 dirt tyre on the front so atleast the front won't slip away on mud I was running a motto rt but the sidewalls split..I had a slow puncture but I just pumped it before every ride as it only went so flat then stopped going down (It was still rid-able). Im thinking a another motto rt should roll better when its pumped up and stays pumped up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
