I just got the new edition of Mountain Bike Action magazine & it has a tire shoot-out. They have 127 tire brands tested & rated.
And the verdict is??? One tire to rule them all?
Not exactly.. you'd have to see their reviews on the stuff. They rate tires based on climbing efficiency, cornering, braking, etc, so not one tire outdoes another. Each has its own characteristics for the rider to choose from.
Ya, I was kind of kidding. Of course there is not one single tire that rules them all. Choosing a tire is sooooo subjective to the rider and the conditions being ridden. I personally would like a tire that sticks to everything like glue, and then rails on the DH. But then again, who doesn't?
