Hi, Just about to take charge of my new Cube Ltd Race 29er....

The tyres as it stands are Schwalbe Rapid Rob 2.25...

I live on the southdowns in West sussex sometimes rides Surrey too...

General riding is singletrack, lots or roots and well muddy during the rainy season... pretty chalky too.

Any advice on winter tyres would be great!

Ta Ben.

always ride with at least one spare tyre worn a'la Chewbacca's Bandolier. Then, and only then, will people know you're serious.

Round ones. Definitely use round ones, the rounder the better really.

How do you know the supplied ones won't work/will kill you?

A stealth 'what tyres for...' Thread. Sneaky.

I was told size doesn't matter.

It's not the size of the knob, it's the number of threads.... (per inch, obv)

No one likes a massive knob with lots of threads. Dreadfull rolling resistance, you see.
