Alright, I was reading a thread and there was a debate, well, argument, on the greatest tire combo. So put your riding discipline in, and your personal tire setup.
Kenda 2.5 Blue Grove front Nevegal 2.5 rear DH/FR Kenda 2.35 Nevegal front and rear or Small Block 8 trail XC Maxxis Holly Roller for street and park not bad on groomed dj as well
Kenda K-rad 2.35 for smooth/bmx-style ds/street/dj/xc Kenda Blue Groove 2.35 Kevlar for everything else on my hardtail Specialized Roller 2.7 for packed DH Kenda Kinetics 2.6 Kevlar for tacky DH Maxxis Swampthings for mud DH IRC Mud kevlar rear and Maxxis Swampthing front for mud DS
the gravity is smallish for 2.35 but is predictable and gradual in a slide, and the ignitor seems to be wearing fast. i'm pretty happy but dont know if i'll go the same again, prob go tubeless
xc and commuting - special Kenda Kinetics 2.1's. dh - specialized chunderheads 2.5's. Most reliable tire I've found for not getting flats or cracking. Sometimes I'll switch in some 2.35 minions, but they don't last very well. park - what ever is cheap. Currently some Haros.
XC combo, it's the best i've tried so far. Front: Kenda Nevegal Stick-E 2.1 Rear: Continental Mountain King Protection 2.2 For those wondering why i've got the 2.2 in the back and a 2.1 on the front, the Mountain King is really undersized for a 2.2 tire, it's more like a 2.0.
commuter front Michelin Country Rock 1.75 possibly the best communter tire, fast with wet and cornering grip rear Geax Country Rider XC/Touring 1.95 a good dirt slick with solid side wall knobs. after 8 months the centre line has lost most of its tread so its pretty fast now but still works off road on the trails
