guys just looking for some feedback on there tyres, have any of you used them and what are your thoughts?
i can see they are a bit heavy but im not too bothered, just wondered how they deal with roots etc
Cheers
Chris
Iv have the wild gripper R advanced on my HT front and rear and very impressed with them mine is the gum x compound. Size 2.35 27.5 wheel size they look big (wide) but dont feel slow. Great in wet and mud cleared well.
Never found a tyre that I'm happy with on wet roots but theses have been fine.
Not tried tubless set up. Been running them for 6mth and have held up very well with little wear.
ok cheers, im got the gum-x for the rear coming, ill put them on as tubeless first off
I have 26x2.35 advanced protected on the front of my five and a 2.25 advanced on the rear.
The 2.35 is a beast, big, tuff and 55a throughout.
Grips really well in all but the thickest shite and has yet to clog.
Holds a little mud on the outer tread at slow speed that soon clears but the center stayed good.
The rear is smaller but still on par size wise with a 2.35 maxxis but a lot lighter than the front as the sidewalls are not protected. Rubber is 59a center and 55a on the edges and has the same tread design as the bigger tyre but has been scaled down to suite. Still very grippy and fast and also clears well due to the spacing.
Have the 2.25s front and back on my hardtail and would recommend them as a very good intermediate tyre and due to recent bargain pricing have stashed a few away in the loft.
Here are the 2.25 on my winter bike before it went to all out muds.
