Trying to find the best tyres for my bike as they need replacement. The bike is 80% time driven on pavement(commute) but I have forrest park near so there are some gravel and dirt roads I use there and some milder forrest trails. Currently on bike are Smart sam which are EOL. So I need a tyre that is good on road but can manage some xc use. Also I am planning to do a mid conversion. Been searching last few days and here are my few choices, I have alexrimms zx24 24mm on my bike:
1) 29x 2.35 https://int.vittoria.com/products/mezcal-xc?_pos=5&_sid=78362753f&_ss=r in
2) 29 x 2.4 https://int.vittoria.com/products/mezcal-xc-race?_pos=1&_sid=78362753f&_ss=r
3) 29 x 2.4 https://int.vittoria.com/products/peyote-xc-race?_pos=9&_sid=78362753f&_ss=r
4) 29 x 2.2 https://www.continental-tires.com/products/b2c/bicycle/tires/race-king-protection/
The recommended max tyre width for 24mm rim is 2.35 buy I read that 2.4 should be fine?
My top pick would be Peyote xc race but its rather expensive.
Any thoughts?
