Let us know what there like. I'm running conti mountain king 2's at the mo and the are a bit slippy and don't cope with mud to well. And could do with a new rear anyway as its getting a bit low on tread.

stu they are 2.2s right the bonti muds are the bollocks they only come in a 26x2.0. but thats what you really want with mud something that cuts throiugh it rather than floats on it. i just i organised a group buy on them with our local shop but he could only do £25 per tyre but that was 29er tyres as well so not to bad a deal but i found them cheaper at jecycles all the guys in my local forest are now pretty much using them now.

Muddy riding is the best, only down side is the cleaning
