Lightweight, Wide (>2.2), Aggressive Tread MTB Tires
I would like to try some wider MTB tires for freeriding and XC. I am
currently using Panaracer Fire XC Pro 2.1 inch with the Aramid (Kevlar) bead, 580 grams. My frame can take tires up to around 2.6 inches. I would like to see how the ride would be with something substantially wider, say around 2.4 inch wide; however, I don't want heavy tires. I have seen a WTB WeirWolf Race 2.5 (55/62) that weighs in at 730 grams. WTB also has a Mutano Raptor Race 2.4 (less aggressive tread it appears) weighing in at 565 grams; however, they size it as 55/55 which is really only about a 2.16 inch width. Can anyone suggest other lightweight, wide, aggresive tread tires (tube type) that I should consider? -- Thanks! -- rec.bicycles.off-road is moderated by volunteers.

IRC Trail Bear Front/Rear Tire
The classic Missile tread design combined with the latest construction technology creates this ultimate trailbike/freeride tire. Directional knobs with enough beef to hook up and track solidly through corners, smaller knobs in between add an extra barrier of flat protection. Good DH training tire. Supple 66 tpi casing for comfort and performance. 26 x 2.25" Kevlar bead. Black/Blackwall. 760g "HKEK" wrote in message m... I would like to try some wider MTB tires for freeriding and XC.

They say they are a 2.25 but they seem bigger than my friend's 2.3's. They are high volume and a soft compound and they hook up really well. They weigh 745 Grams which is pretty good for a tire of this size. When these wear out I'll probably get more. Matt -- rec.bicycles.off-road is moderated by volunteers.

WTB also has a Mutano Raptor Race 2.4 (less aggressive tread it appears) weighing in at 565 grams; however, they size it as 55/55 which is really only about a 2.16 inch width. I know that's what the width really is; but they feel and look considerably wider. -- PeteCresswell -- rec.bicycles.off-road is moderated by volunteers.
