Hi all

I have a 2003 rockhopper HT frame, i currently run 2.0 RollX tyres (which seem pretty fat for 2.0) . I want to switch to Panaracer FireXCPro2.1 or Trailblaster2.1 and i would like to know if these tires fit my frame. Please advice me accordingly. Thanks

Yep... no problem.

Running Panaracer Fire XC Pro 2.1s on my wife's '03 Rockhopper. Much better tire than the Roll-X - more stable and more durable so far.

Thanks man, i just hate the rollx tires....the rear thread is busted in less than 100miles (no skidding ,wet conditions) and they are heavy as hell. I am all the way for FireXC now for aggro xc and FR.
