based on your experience/usage...
i'm just lookin' for better options out there so i'm doin' this survey ( i tend not to rely too much on foreign online reviews) What i'm after is a versatile (all-around) tire that has low rolling resistance, relatively light for REAR use, doesn't wear easily on pavement coz i ride to the trail head and of course not too expensive (not more than 1k) tall order ba?
personally i've tried/owned:
Maxxis TT Larsen - the lightest, not for aggressive trails Highroller - rolls fine but wears easily on pavement Mobster - kinda heavy, more suited as front tire Mofo - heavy, too knobby Kenda Kinetics - way heavy WTB Motoraptor 2.24 & 2.4 (more or less same size as most 2.35s) - my fave combo so far but there might be better stuff out there
these tires have their pros and cons and i have my ideal set-up of course. just soliciting new info if ever
OK din if you know other good 2.24 tires (ran out of Motoraptors and Mutanoraptors) how about those specialized enduro 2.2s?
thanks to those who'll reply

Besides i won't race on the 17th coz i'm better off as marshal... btw i think Joey B. uses IRC Kujo, hmm. but i think practically any tire will do for a guy of that caliber
