Hey Buddy?
Why don't you check online stores for bilke accesories. You can get really awesome idea about new tiers from there.
So check few online websites. Good Luck Smile

As an employee at Rays MKE and user of Rays MKE, I find that the Bontrager G1, Maxxis Holyrollers, Maxxis Hookworms, Kenda SmallBlock 8s, anything that has a compact tread pattern (a good amount of rubber on the ground) and a larger tire width is great for Rays terrain. i personally ride Holyrollers 2.4" wide....
hopefully that answers your question!

I am building up and old dirt jumper, and was wondering about the SB8's. Would this be a good tire to run for both DJ and regular trail riding? I'm building up with a 2005 GF Bitter w/ a MZ Dirt Jumper 2, but since funds are limited, it will have to serve as both a Dirt Jumper bike and a light trail riding bike.

I run the ust sb8 tires on my dj bike and they have been fine for rays, they also work well on the rear for trail riding.
