Tires i can tell you about. As for cornering I want advice.

i have tried all types of tires. As for pressure...i go like 30-35 and wiegh in at 120.

Here is my history with tires: take what you like from it comment whatever...

Kenda kqicks clichers 32...file tread did not offer enough grip on front or rear in mud,front steep turns, rear in sand.

douglas tubbies in the 32....nice casing but not enough side knob and they wore down fast (not worth the cash and I wished I had gone with 34's)

WTB wier wolf clincher...great back tire for muck...I slap it on when I cannot keep a nice smooth spin across a really gunky field. Only tried it on the back.

Vitoria tigre cross tubbies in a 28....silly buy, but the green looks cool. Nice for a course of perfect dry grass conditions. Not fat enough to attempt to get rear traction in a pit of sand. The rear spins out period and the front wants to rut...not easy to accomplish that front 'float' in the grove sort thing.

Vittoria cross 34(the silver ones) in a 34...what I am sporting now. About right for me...not to much money, enough grip on the side, never had issues rutting or spinning out. I like them for most days. i would not like them in the 32 as well. I guled them on myself with tufo tape and abuse them...on snug and hold at 30 lbs. After the douglas they feel bouncy, but had I never been spoiled I'da said they felt smooth.

I have an old specialized team pro (no longer made now in a 32, but feels more like a 34 not counting the knobs)...it lookes like the richey pro. Basically it is a kenda kqick much nicer with side knobs...it digs into turns so well that I have kept this for (EKKKK years) The side wall finaly stoped holding the seal and it was retired as my crap weather front to mate the wier wolf from WTB on my back. I am yet to pick up the ritchy pro...but i think it is my plan.


As for low pressure, not only do I feel it helps with more grip and thus more forward speed and sure feel...but also my arms get much less abuse....that helps at 45 minutes into a ride when i have to lift that darned thing up one more time. You know that my sternum aches feeling? It helps that not happen.
