Just curious what most of you are running for tires as far as sizing/tread. I've got a JET 9 build in work and tires are about the only thing left to decide on. I was thinking of going 1.95 rear, 2.2 front .... any opinions on that? Does the 2.2 really provide that much better traction (on off-cambers or turns), or would 1.95 front & rear be ideal for weight savings?
Also for any of you riding typical Midwest trails, what have you found to be the best tire/tread? I do very little wet/muddy riding with the vast majority of my rides involving hard-pack trails with plenty of off-camber, rocks/roots, and tight switchbacks. I'm hoping to find something that provides good traction and is reasonably durable without weighing too much?
I've got Specialized Armadillos on my hardtail, and while they are bullet proof, they are way to heavy and very stiff!
Thanks for any feedback!
