Since i got a new bike, i have needed to get some new tyres. I am looking at Maxxis High Rollers and Mobsters. Can anyone help me on choosing cos i'm not sure which set is better.

Neither....they kind of have different purposes. One is very high and excellent rolling speed while the other is stickier. I run a highroller in the front as it has some serious kickass traction for turning and I run a mobster on the back because it has a thick sidewall with tonnes of dig in traction and its sticky which is good for wood and rain. Most people I know run that setup IF they run maxxis :)
