After a few outing on the XZL's I have come to the conclusion that, whilst an excellent all-round expedition type tyre, they're no match for more extreme mud treads in the sticky stuff.
The problems I have are:
1) They need to be 35" to keep my gearing nice, and that's really 35" not 35" written on the side but stands 33.5" as some seem to be.
2) I don't want them to stick out any more than they do already, plus I don't want to fork out on a new set of rims, so they need to fit a 7" wide 16" rim.
3) I'm skint, so they can't be megabucks - in my book that rules out BFG, Simex and a few others.
I've found that Fedima do Trekkers (simex copy) in 900x16 that are ~36" high according to King Offroad at £145 per tyre which seems OK. Maxxis seem to be good value but I'm struggling to find size & price info.
So - I'm after suggestions/sources and prices - or if anyone's got a used set of something for sale cheap?
