Any Conti tire. I like Edge Protection on the back

I usually run 1.95-2.10 tyres. For very muddy conditions would I be looking at a wider or narrower tyre? I was under the impression that a narrower tyre was what was needed, but opinions seem to state otherwise

Bonty MUD X - 110% the shizit.

Continentals slip n slide all over the damn place.. the mountain kings are the worst

Bonty mud x - simple design but bloody work .. If anyone has ridden Ilkley Moor in Yorkshire over winter .. there's a test for tyres!!

Looks just like a Porc with square blocks! Probably a bit wider spaced too though...

+1 for the Panaracer Trailraker.

thinner tyres are generally the answer for propper slushy mud as they sink in a bit deeper and find the rock/gravel at the bottom.

IIRC alot of people used to run a larger front tyre in muddy conditions
to help 'float' the front end over the mud.... (not sure if it works)

personally I'm a 1.8 tyre man come rain or shine on the hardtail both front and rear.

if only I could get a trailraker in a 1.35 I'd be a happy boy.

Specialized Adrenalin, come to think of it any chunky specialized!

2.1 Dart on the front and 1.9 Smoke on the back do it for me.
Did you ride the Preselis ?
