I should be grateful for some tyre advice, and I promise I have already read the ultimate tyre thread but although I learned a lot it left me no wiser what tyres would be best for me.
My Haibike Alltrail 6.0 came with 27.5x2.8 Maxxis DHF and DHR tubed tyres. They seem fine but I have a £150 voucher to spend at my LBS and I thought of getting a spare set of tyres.
I use the bike, often well loaded with camping and fishing equipment, on estate and forest tracks some with sharp stones and others very muddy. I don’t bounce fast downhill over rocks and roots!
The Maxxis tyres seem ok and my only problem has been the rear wheel (understandably) skidding as I attempted a steep climb on wet grass.
My absolute priority is to minimise the risk of punctures. Then grip. Light weight and good rolling resistance are a bonus rather than a requirement.
I was thinking of tubeless with, perhaps, Tannus armour but what tyres??
Suggestions very welcome thanks.
