Complete strangers have told me "
Your tires suck." I have heard "Get those off a
Massey Ferguson?" I have had friends ramble on for 30-plus minutes about how I would be so much faster if I had better tires. Personally I do not think my tire choice is really holding me back from
greatness. There are lots of
other limiting factors.
My
cured back stock of
1996 WTB Velociraptors is gone. Now is your chance to voice an opinion on what tires I ride. This is what I look for:
- durability - my current tires are approaching 2 years of use
- terrain ranges from dirt to cement - 50% dirt and 50%cement and gravel (I ride to most of my rides)
- all conditions - changing tires for changing conditions is not going to happen, I am
So vote and vote often then shut up.

I vote B but I really would rather see more of A when I am out and about....
When do we get to vote on chains?
Will an A like option be available in the chain vote?
Schwalbe, give them a try...
If you want to follow Mr. Mac's advice, I have a brand new pair of Schwalbes you can try out. It'll be awhile before I need new tires on my dirt bike.
Dammit, I ruined my last comment. Mac is right. Schwalbes do rule but they might not last as long as a good set of those legs.
When I used to ride I could get lots of hard miles out of Kenda Karmas. Since you weigh about 1/2 what I do, I would say you would have good luck with them. A little heavy but they last.
Nice legs. Was that Brad, Skippy and Jim?
You're really looking at one tire - a rear as I have your front tire that you won in the raffle.
I think this is it.

come by this weekend with a few of the red ladies - as promised via the signs at Rhetts
Michelin Country Gravel. -- "The Country Gravel from Michelin is ideal for leisure riding on a variety of surfaces, including pavement, gravel and dirt. Large, well supporting knobs for smooth rolling on harder surfaces."
This should work nicely -- MCG
