Good mud tyres for a Haibike Fullnine

[Myles Barnett]

Hi All,

I'm thinking of putting some big mud loving tyres (2.4) on my full sus 29er but Ive noticed the clearance is already quite tight, especially on the rear with my smart sam plus's (2.1, they feel great on road but very slippery in mud).

Any recommendations? (I'm also thinking of getting a second set of wheels). I always feel more comfortable with good puncture protection.

Cheers,

Chris

Go tubeless on a set of super gravity magic Marys? You won't look back, except to see the bikes you pass who are stuck struggling behind you

Also.. mud tyres.... need to be narrower, not bigger. They cut through the mud and give more clearance. Don't go 2.4, try 1.9!

Thanks for the replys, excuse my ignorance and misconceptions but a couple of questions:

1. Wouldn't a smaller tyre wheelspin more? (Im a 19st guy)
2. Tubeless I like the idea of but do I need new wheels (good excuse to go tubless)?
3. Does tubeless puncture more?

Cheers,

Chris

Good point. Maybe 2.0-2.1 on the rear as all rounder that'll dig in better providing more tradition and cope better in mud. Front can take a little wider, especially for ebike.

The widest I use is 2.1 though currently have a 1.9 on the rear and 2.25 tyre on the front.

All this talk of mud! I was hoping there will be dry trails very soon?

Maybe come June.

I used to think the same way. My 2.35 Magic Mary's slip and slide through the mire. Whereas my cheap 1.9 tyres hold up quite well through it, as shown in this video. I have slime inner tubes. But I'd say that they probably puncture equally as much.

Thanks all, need to find a supplier of bolt through tubeless wheels me thinks
