Hey all, I'm a 6 foot tall rider currently down to 250# from as high as 380# 8 years ago :thumbsup: ...but still big enough to have problems with tire choice.
I'm sure many of you have felt the squirmy mushiness from too soft of edge nobs when trying to corner aggressively. What I'd like to start here is a listing of tires that ride well for clydes like us. I've had a couple sets of tires so disconcerting to ride hard that I passed them on to much thinner riding friends; and I'd rather not waste any more money on tires such as those.
I know conditions play a large part in how a tire performs; but since most of us probably ride mostly on dry trails that receive a good amount of traffic and therefore are hard packed, let's target those tires primarily.
If this topic stays focused and gets good results, maybe they'll "sticky" it for us. I tried the forum search for clyde tires and got sh!t for results.
I'd start with a recommendation but I'm not sure I've ever ridden on a really great tire yet.
