Kenda Nevegal 2.5's. I swear by those tires, they hold so well on their side knobs and don't slip around much in the wet. Nevys all the way!

me?? why do I hate fat tires?? Because first of all getting to the hill, or pedalling around any where is shit, the larger the tire the more drag, and I just dont feel the need for huge tires, i had large tires for a few years and never thought much of going to skinnys, then I bought my bros whole wheelset hubs and all and that is what he had on his set up and it was sooo much beter, you dont need tires that wide, the contact area is close to the same... fat tires are going to be slower in the long run, learn to toss the bike around and lean properly, and you dont need em
