Tires for SS XC
So, any recommendations for a fully rigid SS (Surly 1x1), for mostly XC, Trails, Dirt, Some Mud, basically as versatile as possible. This is in Wisconsin. I was thinking something pretty light, and I've heard that High Volume/Low Pressure tires are ideal.
Thanks for any suggestions/experiences!

Nevegals. Mutano Raptors 2.24 race for high volume, decent weight
But, come on man!! I used to have a surly 1x1. you have got to stick fat meat on that bike!!
I'd say WTB Timberwolf Race Tires 2.7''.
Plenty of room to spare..

I run/ran Bontrager Jones Mud X. I've recently switched to wider Hutchison(sp?) Spider for the extra width. I've had nothing but good times with the Jones Mud though.

I'd run a 2.3" tire or bigger. I started out on 1.9" race tires - oh gawd, the pain.
