Best Mountain Bike Tires
January 10, 2006
Want to know about mountain bike tires? Just ask Shiggy, he's obsessed.
"I am obsessed with bicycle tires. Mountain bike tires in particular. Twenty years ago when I bought my first mountain bike there were not many tires available and those you could find were not very good. Still, I found that the right tire choice could make a big difference in the performance of my MTB..."
Shiggy has even gone so far as to ride the Kalama Horse Trail on different tires to make a comparison.
So what are his faves?
* Specialized Ground Control 1.95 The 1985(?) original
* Michelin Hi-Lite Hot 1.95 Great casing design. Do it all tread
* Specialized Hardpack 2.2 High volume square block
* CyclePro Motivator 2.10 Great take on the squre block theme
* Panaracer Dart SC 2.2 The first front specific tire
* Specialized Storm Control 1.8 THE mud tire
* Hutchinson Python Air Light 2.00 One of the first - and best - small block fast rollers
