What tires are you using?

I too have a Titus racer X with Kenda Nevegal tires. I live in the NE, and I really like them. The DH has them also and likes them.

I'm currently using Maxxis MoFo XC's. I've read some poor 'reviews' on MTBR about them, but I find them great tires for general XC and downhill riding on loose gravel/roots 'n rocks, and excellent in mud conditions. My last pair were Kenda Koyote's, which were probably the best MTB tire I've ever used. No longer available, I'm afraid.

I have tried a lot of different tyres out over the last couple of years. Where I live we have a lot of different types of track, from really loose pea gravel (which is like riding on marbles) boggy track, to your hard compact track, to your slippery rooty muddy track.

Each type of track really does require a different set of tyres.

For the gravelly sandy tracks I primarily use Hutchinson pythons, but if the corners are really sketchy I put a Hutchinson Scorpion on the front just for a little more control.

For the hard compact tracks I love my Schwalbe Racing Ralphs.

Then for the muddy tracks I like the Michelin XCR Mud tyre.

We also have a bit of everything - very rocky (usually wet), greasy limestone, roots, sandy/gritty tracks, mud, wheel sucking bog... As we can encounter all that in a single ride I use all round tyres and only change them when they wear out. Have used Panaracer Fire XC Pro 2.1 for the last couple of years ok but have recently bought a Kenda Blue Groove/Nevegal combination which I am really loving and think they are better all round than the Panaracers. Both the Panaracer and Kenda tyres are crap in deep claggy mud but there isn't much of that around here.

Roots, rocks, slime....etc.... The FUN mountain bike terrain!

I use IRC Mythos MTB tire - it seems to give me a lot more traction than I had with my other tires, so they are now my favorites!

This year I've exclusively raced on Kenda Karma's (tubeless tire with stans sealant). They are great. I went from April until now with no flats (knock on wood). They preform well in dry conditions. They are o.k. in mud (not great), but they do shed mud well in awful conditions. I'll probably race on them again in 2007.

Kenda Nevegal. So far so good.

Riding in mud best to avoid around here. My Racer X can't handle much mud, but the tires seem ok in the mud.

Rocky Mountain/Moab riding.
