I tend to use Rocket Rons both on the cross bike and mountain bike, clear mud well once you get some speed on.

In the UK? Jings! Crivvens! Help ma Boab! etc.

More helpfully, what do you want the tyres [i]for[/i]? Makes a difference whether it's XC racing or XC trail riding. For the latter, I've got a set of Conti Mountain King II ProTections on at the moment and they seem pretty good.
