Any new hotness 650b tires?
I finally got my 12mm adapters for my dt swiss wheels so I can setup the 650b off-road set my Kona Libre. What's the new hotness out there for knobby 650x47 or whatever tire? I have 700x38 Allrounds for road and light dirt riding so want something chunkier for my 650b setup. I'm also a sucker for skinwalls if there are some.

The ReneHerse knobby 48mm would be my first choice for something chunkier. Tan wall option.

I think Ventures are pretty hard to beat as an all arounder, but sounds like you want knobbier--Senderos look pretty damn cool . . .

Yeah the schwalbe all-rounds are actually pretty good for a lot of stuff but since I have the 650b set was looking for something that is much different for the grinduro style events if they ever come back. It's funny because my new years resolution for this year was to get out and do more race events so I signed up for all the gravel, cross country, and enduro events near my area and they all got cancelled. But no biggie this will just give me more motivation to do more events once they return.
