just want to get an idea what everyone is running for tires at our local trails and some strengths and weaknesses about them. ive already been through mtbr but it seems most of those reviews come from mtb'ers who ride terrain much different from ours.

tires i have tried...

Bontrager LT3 26x2.0: Slide on anything remotely wet, very low rolling resistance, weak cornering grip

Intense System 4 26x2.25: nice supple ride, smooth over roots and rocks, squirmy in corners, front washed out on me pretty good once and i lost confidence in them

Michelin Mountain AT 26x2.2: good grip on loose loamy stuff, slow as molasses, noisy as heck on dry hardpack, could not enjoy the ride due to very high rolling resistance

Kenda Kwick 26x1.95: very stable on dry hardpack, follows the chosen line pretty well, low rolling resistance, slides on wet roots, mud, and leaves, not great on loose over hardpack

Continental Race King 26x2.2: huge volume absorbs roots and rocks pretty well, rolls pretty fast, tread height is very low, feels sloppy in corners, not very confidence inspiring, thin carcass punctures easily

IRC Mythos XC II 26x2.1: current setup, rolls fast, front tire has good tread depth, gets through the leaves down to the hardpack, tracks well, back tire slides predictably, grips ok during climbs
