1.75" Tires w/Center Strip?
I've been using WTB's Mutano Raptor 54/54 Race tires for awhile
on my SYS bike and they work for me: minimal pavement buzz, but enough dirt traction for what I do. For my rigid pavement bike, I'm using 1.5" slicks. In the interest of some traction and a little more cush on the pothole repairs, I'm thinking of replacing the slicks with something 1.75 or 2.1 that has some tread but the same center ridge that keeps the Mutanos from buzzing. OTOH, I'd like to keep most of the liveliness that the 1.5s have over the Mutanos. Any suggestions? I was thinking Nano Raptors, but worry that, at 2.1", they'll be so close to the Mutanos that I might as well use Mutanos. Anybody A/B'd these two tires. Other suggestions? -- PeteCresswell |
