Seem to have lots of XC whippety tyres but have decided to also get some fatter, grippier ones better suited to technical riding rather than speed.
Not too bothered about weight, and was thinking wire bead to save money. Initial idea (for 2.3 / 2.4 size) was something like the Conti Slash or Gravity, or maybe the Kenda Kinetics - but I'm open to any advice and recommendations from you chaps in the know.

Cheers.

Bar the fatter bit, 2.0" ain't that wide (unless they come in bigger sizes??)

Maxxis High Rollers in 2.35" - anout £20 each, Advantage in the 2.25" flavour (only folding though), or Ignitors in 2.35" Exception, again only folding, but all good high abuse tyres

Run a high roller 2.35 42a front and an Ignitor 2.1 70a rear, been a really good combo...
