|  OLETA riders, Ive got a question. | RedMantra
Oct 16, 2003 10:46 AM | | I know this is going to be somewhat opinionated, but what do you think the best OVERALL tubeless tire would be for this park. I also ride Markahm rarely, QWP, and Amelia maybe once a week. Just so you know the conditions I ride in. Thanks for any info. The tires dont need to be superlight or anything, but something that will last for a lil while and have good performance (It'd be nice if they were on teh lighter side though, ie 650g or less). Thanks for any input. |

I also have using the Jimmy Series of Tires from Schwalbe and they rock there. You know the conditions can vary there trail from trail and both these have great success there.
Conti Explores also work well. Look around and Hutchinson seems to be the most popular tire.
I have friends that also like the Michelin Comps and Hot S.

Overall FOR THOSE TRAILS I think the explorer is the better front tire. If you need a little more grip go with explorer F&R, a lot of guys do and do real well with them.
You can run a standard tire with Stan's or similiar to save weight over UST.
