tire recommendation

[Jazn]

Tire opinions are like...... well, everybody's got one ;) There can be a lot of factors in tire selection like how you ride, where you ride, type of bike, tire pressure, etc. In this area something with a medium knob works pretty well. Schwalbe makes some good tires for the area, if I was running them I'd go with Nobbie Nick's. I have mostly run Continental Mountain Kings (2.2) for the last 3 years. Traction has never been a problem. I just switched to the new Continental X King's to go tubeless but haven't ridden them yet. None of the options mentioned are bad choices, but It may take some time to find what works best for you, I have a pile of old tires in the garage that didn't work for me over the years.

Thanks for the help guys!

I ended up ordering some schwalbe Nobbie Nic's. I was just having issues deciding on something that wasn't too wide. I was told to go no wider than 2.25 on my bike.

Love the Nic's on my setup. Plenty of grab in them.
