Getting the best mountain bike tyres for the type of riding you do and the conditions you typically encounter can be a real headache.<\/p>\n

Get it right, however, and tyres \u2013 which you\u2019ll need to match to your mountain bike wheel sizes<\/a> \u2013 can make a big difference to how your ride behaves. You can spend all you want on the best mountain bike wheels<\/a>, but they won\u2019t fulfil their potential without suitable tyres.<\/p>\n

Why is it so tough to find the right tyres? First, there\u2019s a lot of assumed knowledge with MTB tyres.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re expected to know what a mud tyre should look like and where it will perform best. The best winter mountain bike tyres<\/a> are worth considering if you ride a lot in the wet.<\/p>\n

You need to know what type of tread pattern works well on smooth or bumpy terrain, and you need a decent knowledge about carcass thickness and rubber compound.<\/p>\n

But, fear not, we\u2019ve done the leg work for you.<\/p>\n

For each tyre we\u2019ve added what that model is good at, what it\u2019s designed for, whether it\u2019s available with different rubber compounds or carcass thicknesses, and which discipline it\u2019s most suited to.<\/p>\n

What to look for when buying mountain bike tyres<\/h2>\n
You can\u2019t overstate the importance of a good set of tyres. They drastically affect how your bike rides, so skimping is a false economy. Finding the best tyres for your needs is far from straightforward though.<\/p>\n

Tread<\/h3>\nTread pattern is a key consideration too. Tall, widely-spaced knobs are ideal for muddy or loose terrain, while shorter tread blocks tend to be faster \u2013 rolling and more predictable on hard surfaces.<\/p>\n
