Always run Maxxis Wet Screams but find them to be a bit of a handful on root sections thinking about giving something else a try any advice? Cheers

If you don't need a full mud, it's worth checking out the Conti Baron/Rain King- it's more of a swampthingish muddy knobbly so less good at the horrible stuff than a spike but better at, well, everything else.

(Maybe I'm a bit biased, I don't like spikes, never really got the hang of them and since i don't race seriously I can just pick the conditions to avoid the need so maybe I've just not had the best of them)

Jam bo not really cut down had them a while now so spikes are pretty short just can't seem to get a handle on the way they wash out or drag you up roots they are great where mud is pretty thick was thinking maybe some Muddy Mary's or some Mud Kings.

Just got a SCHWIUBBLY Dirty Dan for the front (Vertstar triple compound). Had first ride on them the other day and i'm impressed Clear well and didnt go crazy on the wet roots.

They are really good while they last but they wear like they're made of caramel 🙁

I got some half price Muddy Mary's from on-one and gave them a thorough work out today. I really like them. I use High Rollers 99% of the time but these are much faster in the current slimy conditions.
