Nannerman Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Its the wet season and its raining everyday where I live. My schwalbe big betty is screwed if it gets wet and so its time for a stickier tire. I am choosing between the 24" Kenda Nevegal (sticky e) and the Maxxis Highroller (not supertacky). Which one does better in the wet? Also, does anyone know what durometer the Kenda supertacky compound is? Sorry for the millionth 24" tire thread, I just don't want to keep falling on my ass from a crap tire. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valk Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Im using a 26" navegal front...it's super super super soft with low-ish pressure and after 5 months of 1-3 hours of riding a day on dirt/rocks/street it's almost in "change me" condition.

SamKidney Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Carthy was running the 26" Nevegal Stik - e compound on the rear a few weeks ago and seemed to rate it. Looked to grip well, especially on the crazy off camber stuff he does. Ive recently got hold of a Maxxis Swampthing 24" in their supertacky compound and I love it. Hasnt slipped once on me and grips silly good in every situation. Rode it in the wet yesterday on natural and was very predictable, stable and grippy. Very puncture resistant too!

Did you buy it online? Let me know where if you did. I think either way would be better than my schwalbe. The kenda seems promising. I have a small block on the front and thats not even the supertacky compound but it handles the wet really well. Thanks for the input!
