I like the WTB, but don't forget Maxxis.

Between those two, I'd say Kenda Small Block 8s.

I usually ride Michelin Country Rock 1.75", both my DJ spots have paved run-ups and hardpack runs, and these work well there.



If I were to hit a spot that has some soft spots I'd probably run 2.1" IRC Mythos Slicks



Either tire can be had for about $15.

-- the cheap bastard.

Geax Saguaros are new to the bike world. In the desert SW they are taking over. I use one for a drive tire, it holds well and power well. BUT I ride XC, have no idea for jumping. I think the law of gravity should be obeyed.
