That’s it, post your answer below before Sunday the 31st and your entered in the drawing. Winner will be announced next Wednesday.









Specialized Captain Control
Maxxis Holy Roller
My favorite tire is the Maxxis Ignitor. It is great for all conditions but mud as this tire doesn’t shed mud well.
Maxxis Swamp Things – in 2.5 dual-ply super tacky – make this half of the year bearable. Hurrah for Swamp Things!
Whatever tires you’re giving away are my favorite.
Maxxis High Roller
Smooth rolling with strong tracking into corners
Favorite brand is Maxxis. Favorite tire is the Minion DHF 3C. If only they cost less than the tires on my truck…
My favorite tire is the Halo Choirmaster 29×2.35, on the heavy side but rolls well, offers plenty of traction on every surface, very easy to control, excellent braking traction as well, works very well tubeless even though it’s not a tubeless tire, acts like a soft tail on hardtail frame!
Nothing like a contest to get people to come out of the woodworks.
I’m pretty fond of the panaracer rampage in 2.35, just as wide as some 2.5 out there without the weight penalty.
i could sure use a new set of tires
I like Specialized’s Eskar 2.3 for the front of my trail bike. It’s not too heavy and it hooks up real well once you roll over onto the corner knobs.
Currently using Continental Mountain King 2.4s.
Maxxis Minion 60A single ply
Maxxis DHF, though I’m eager to try the new Schwalbe wicked wills.
Maxxis Minions all the way!
Maxxis Ignitor 2.10
Summer favorite: SCHWALBE RACING RALPHS
Race favorite: NOTUBES RAVEN
Winter favorite: MICHELIN DRYXC2
All around favorite: MAXXIS IGNITOR
Kenda Karma 2.2
Kenda – Tomac Nevegals 2.5 – Perfect for the Rock Garden State(NJ)
Still running the WTB Weirwolfs 2.3′s as my dedicated trail tire. Most predictable cornering and braking tire for the Humboldt county Norcal conditions. Even mount the 2.1′s for buffer cross-country race courses and super-D’s.
Bontrager XDX Tubeless Ready Tire
I like 2 at the moment…. I like a kenda nevegal in the front(2.1) maxxis crossmark in the back(2.0)
I’d like to try the new kenda blue groove. See how those feel
Intense Tires and their new Mk2 dirt jumping tire: http://www.intensetires.com/itdj-mk-210.html
Two thumbs up!
Conti Mountain King 2.4 29er. Good almost everywhere, works tubeless, sheds mud/debris like nobody’s business. These are my general purpose trail tires.
WTB Weirwolf.
Alll time favorite is the Intense Intruder 2.5 FRO sticky rubber. This tire was a monster except on hardpack.
My right now favorite is dual minions dhf. 2.7 sticky/3c/slow rezaay up front and a 2.5 is a 60a compound out back. the 60 a helps braking bite and is more durable wear wise.
This won’t be a popular answer, but the best dry dusty DH tire ever made was the Nokian Gazzaloddi!
I’ve switched to Kenda Nevegals on both my XC and my DH bike.
ps. Don’t enter me in the drawing. I don’t need any tires.
Maxxis Minion DHF 3C FTW!!!!!!
Maxxis Ardent 2.6 front DH Bike 2.4 Front AM Bike
Maxis DHR 2.7 rear DH 2.5 rear AM
Schwalbe Nobby Nic
Maxxis Minion DHR and DHF.
Sadly you can only get the super tackys here now. It makes me sad.
Kenda Nevegal DTC
Maxxis Minion DHF/R single ply.
Maxxis Larson TT UST
WTB Dissent race 2.5, big but not too heavy
Specialized Fast Trak
Maxxis Minion 3C’s!
kenda karma on front and wtb mutanorapor on rear
Maxxis Minions are my favourite so far, but still exploring other options.
Maxxis Ardent 2.4 excellent, stable, solid, versatile all-arounder
Panaracer Cinders, great for the Northeast rocks and roots!
Schwalbe – Nobby Nics
anything free, but I have always been pleased with panaracer’s fire for my XC
Kenda Karmas!!! They rock! (Run tubeless with Stan’s) Light and fast……
Maxxis tires. Maxxis Minion DHF is favorite.
Just finished week 4 of DB Combos!
Kenda small block 8
Maxxis High Roller – 2.35 (I’d go with either tubeless or with tubes)!:)
Continental Rubber Queens 2.2 with black chillli compound run tubeless. Awesome grip on rock and roots and light and fast rolling to boot., so they don’t slow you down on the way to the next descent!
Kenda Blue Groove up front and Nevegal in the rear. 26×2.1, or maybe 2.0
Maxxis Swamp Things – amazing grip in crappy weather
Continental Speed King, 2.3 design for marathon racing, i used for XC and long trail rides, good on shredding muds. Grippy on hard pack to loose trails. and oh did i mention its only 500 gram super light if u ask me
