I am currently running 3 " tyres on my hardtail and would like to try some slightly narrower options, potentially a 2.6 on the rear and a 2.8 on the front. Any suggestions? I ride mostly trail and xc with light dh now and then.
Ok, have just got a 2.6 Slaughter 2 Bliss for the rear and a Butcher Grid 2.8 for the front, I know overkill for xc riding but more air pressure and difference from my current 3" tyres should feel a bit snappier, will see when they arrive...
I'm looking at getting a plus hardtail too and I'd be interested in your opinion on the different tyres you've got. Also what kind of bike you're running them on etc.
Hi, yes thx for replies, bike is Fuse expert, I assume I will slightly slacken head angle by going from a 3" to a 2.6 out back, we shall see. I really like the bigger tyres just seems like 2.8 - 2.6 is the sweet spot for general trail riding.
