So is there a good trail front tyre that grips when braking on wet tarmac?

Thanks

Aitken tires are good too.
Don't forget the Primo Wall and Dirt monster.

because my main riding is on dirt, but i also use the bike for getting about. And it rains a lot...

Yeah, that tire looks nice but it's too smooth for me.

I can't wait till Odyssey and or Primo come out with a foldable tire with more aggressive treads...

For now, i'll be getting Aitkens.

If i were you the only thing i would want for Christmas would be a new leg that works. (No Pun intended)

I can't wait till someone comes out with a foldable dirt tire, you'd think they would have done those first considering you dont need as thick a tire for trails because it has the be agressive...

It would still weigh more and then people wouldn't be so interested in buying the tires... I see it as a whole marketing scheme.
