[Closed] WTB Bridger. A mighty fine tyre, or otherwise?

Had one too many front wheel drift on a WTB Ranger over the weekend, so looking at alternatives. Being brand OCD and quite happy with the ranger on the rear, is the Bridger worth a peek?

Just to clarify: I probably won't ride the bike in Plus mode too much over the winter, unless it's frozen. But while it's still dry-ish I'll be enjoying loamy autumn conditions as long as possible.

Dirt Wizard if you can get one on Rangers myself but they are not liking the low pressure

I use ranger on the back and NN on the front. It's a good combination.

I've been looking at NNs, but as a complete set. My brand OCD would flicker uncontrollably if I ran a NN on the front.

I’ve got Bridgers front and rear on my HT. Absolutely love em even in the Manx slop. Cheap as well.

Named after one of my favourite skiing locations, so must be good.

😀

Opinion seems to be that the NN's can be a bit fragile for the rear. Really good on the front though, plenty of grip.

Ranger terrified me on the front (fine on the back), so have swapped front for a Dirt Wizard.

My brand whore side is horrified at the mismatch, but liking for not having horrible, scary crashes caused by front end washouts is winning out over that...

Sold, to the man in salopettes.

I was looking at a NN or a NN RR combo, but can't find the Addix RR in Apex. I may wait until next year for that.

I was amazed how well it worked, until last weekend. I am now more disposed toward the latter part of your post.

I'll get one ordered.
