In need of some new rubber
Hey guys
Im looking for some new tires for my DBack Response Sport. Right now I'm running Kenda Klaw XT Big Casings, 26x2.1, they came stock. They're starting to show a lot of wear and I'm looking to get something new. I'm looking for a good and affordable all-mountain tire. No bigger than 26x2.10, or else it won't fit. It also must be a tube tire, my wheels don't support tubeless tires.
I've been searching around and I found these two which I think would be good finds. Tell me what you think and if you have any other suggestions.
Kenda Excavator 2.1" --> https://www.blueskycycling.com/produc...evlar-Tire.htm
Michelin XC Dry 2 Kevlar 2.1" --> https://www.blueskycycling.com/produc...evlar-Tire.htm
Thanks!

If you're looking at the Excavator then add the Nevegal to your list. I can't compare them to the other tires you mention as I haven't ridden the Excavator nor Michelin but the Nevegal is a really nice tire. I have the DTC 2.35" version.
