I can't afford two bikes so was wondering if anyone can recommend the best mtb tyres for someone with my riding profile ie mostly on hard/gravel surfaces with occasional light trail riding?
I don't go tubeless so the tyres don't have to be tubeless ready.
Many thanks
I like Maxxis Crossmark II 2.1". Not super fast on road but quiet enough on road and work great for gravel and decent MTB trail riding. Heavier than the Conti Race Kings (which I also love), but they last longer than Race Kings in my experience.
