29er Tires

[BrickTop]

What's the largest 29er tire made and by who? Also, what are some popular 29" tires you all use.

I think I accidently bought a Surly Karate Monkey yesterday. :rolleyes:

I run Nanorapters and Specialized Fast Traks.

WTB Exiwolfs are pretty big and pretty high volume, some of the Bongtrager tires are as well.

More and more choices on the horizon from the likes of Kenda, WTB, and Panaracer too.

Yep, Exi's are the biggest, but the Specialized are close and ride better in my opinion. The Jones XR is also a really good tire.

I can't wait until some BIG rubber becomes available. The Panaracer 2.3 look to be promising and probably the closest to production. Hopefully in time for fall.

Hopefully most of the frames currently out there will fit em too.

Isn't there a posibility of a 2.5 from WTB in the pipeline?

I've been riding Maxxis Ignitors. Certainly not the biggest tire on the market, but I really like them. I really dig the Conti Vertical Pros on my small wheels and the Ignitors have nearly the same tread pattern, so they've been predictable.

I'd like to try me some Ignitors also - funds aren't there to buy them though. :(

Thanks everyone; much appreciated. The bike came with the Bontragers. I'll give them a try for a while and see what I think.
