Anyone give their thoughts on tire sizes for enduro style riding?Say a 2.1 rear and 2.35 front or is it better to have both the same?  |

I personally run 2.0 Maxxis Rancheros and have done so for all my races and rides for the last 18 months.
i am not one for changing my tyres and i find that these are a great all round tyre. i have done a dry 24hr and a wet 24 as well and i did not change them. i also did the Scott 24hr this year and they held up fine.
I guess you just have to be comfortable with a tyre and be prepared for anything, i think a 2.35 is a bit big though.
Crummy could do a tyre reveiw for you..........

I run a 2.55 on the front and a 2.35 on the rear. A big tyre goes well when you dont run suspension and are on the other side of 100kgs  |

Point taken lewy. Thise tyres will make you work harder though.  What you riding now? |

Yeah look, it matters on how you ride to what suits you best.
I can do all the reviews of all the tyres I have ridden on but like Lewy and Bozz have pointed out, it is what you are comfortable with.
From skinny 2.0 richey innovaders and small block 8s to 2.2 big bag maxxis ignitors and contis, there is heaps out there.
Keep it simple, go the same size, mattering on your weight and style of riding, little-er the weight the more you can go towards a thinner tyre, the smoother your style the less agressive tread.
