Great Tire Choices for Trails around Denver

I felt like I was cheating

We like hearing that. It is one of the things that gets us more excited about tires. There is a difference between different treads and rubbers. We’ve been playing with different tires under different common conditions in Denver. Here is some of what we found:

    1. Maxxis

- Maxxis makes a great number of wonderful tires. Along the front range, we have found you cannot go wrong with the Maxxis Ignitor. It comes in both a 26″ and 29″ version, both accelerate in their field. The rubber is sticky enough for pretty much all conditions Denver has. It is at the same time able to strike the balance to be a relatively long lasting tire as well.

    2. WTB

- WTB makes lightweight tires that grip all day long. There are a few that we have found to work better in dirty conditions than others. The Weirwolf (named after Mark Weir) is extraordinarily grippy and light. People often want to dab a foot on tight fast turns, but the Weirwolf hangs on with ease. For an even faster rolling experience, the Weirwolf LT offers a lighter, low profile tread version of the same tread pattern. Incredible ride when the conditions are already quite perfect.

    3. Continental

- The Continental Mountain King is an all-rounder tire as well. You will love the Hot Chili Rubber for its stickiness. And the tread pattern lends itself to speed and stability on most every trail in the Rocky Mountains.
