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.

Nice fast tyres them, good in most conditions up to deep mud.
