Built up a set of Flow ex 29er's for a buddy and I'm not that knowledgable on 29" tyres, not too bothered about going tubless yet but might do in the future.
Main concern is budget..££ the cheaper the better.. :lol: :lol:
Looking for general allround trail tyre not too burly with good rolling..??
Any advice / recommendations.??
Cheers

Been good all year round,

I use the tripple compounds but good tread patterns

Specialized Ground Control front and rear, or go for grippier purgatory up front, £20 each, you get £5 off ordering from Tredz.

@VW-surfbum, Really appreciate the offer to have a dig in your cave of spares. :thumbup:
If they were for me I'd probably buy all you've got.. :lol: :lol: :lol:
But because these are being built for someone else I'm going for new tyres to match the new wheelset. :D

I have specialized butcher control (front) and purgatory control (rear), i'm pretty happy with them. You can use inner tubes with them but really easy to convert to tubeless.
