Which High volume back tyre for my charge blender??
Ive got some bonty 2.2 xr4s on there at the minute but was thinking is there something with a bigger profile (is that the right term?)..
I just dont really have the enthusiasm to trawl the interwebs looking at tyre reviews as they all pretty much say the same thing and i just end up wasting 3 hours of my life getting confused.. again.
So should i just get bigger bonty xr4s or something else??
The old XR4 2.2 are bigger than the new ones. The new XR4 2.35 look nice - they're completely scaled up from the 2.2 with bigger knobs, wider spacing and bigger volume. A Rubber Queen 2.2 is similar volume but the side knobs don't stick out past the carcass so it's narrower edge to edge but tall.
Maxxis Ardent 2.4.
Mahoosive.....and good.

why do you want a high volume tyre on a hardtail jump bike?
are you going to ride it on beaches?
Because im a towering 5ft 5" giant and its my only bike..
I dont ride it as a jump bike.. its my do it all HT and i have developed a strange connection with it and i just feel very comfortable tanking down hills and popping jumps on it. I was just thinking of trying a bigger volume tyre to maybe smooth out some of the bumps a little.
tried standing? 😛
Ha.. i was hoping to actually sit down a little more..
Rubber queen 2.4s have loads of volume. Probably won't be able to fit any mud in there mind.
Schwalbe 2.5's are huge, [i]nearly [/i]too big tbh
