Before anyone mentions it, there are threads like it but none the same (i dont think so anyway)

I am running low on cash so I can only afford one set of tyres. So what are the best all terrain, all weather tyres i can get for racing?

I know nothing will perform amazingly in all conditions, but is there one which performs better than the rest?

Maxxis High Roller front and rear. They've got good tread life and great hook-up.

no offense but high rollers are the worst tires made. maxxis doesnt make a good tire besides the minion

It's all good. It's just my just personal opinion. I ran the Minions for a while and wasn't a fan of their feel.
