that was the front tyre, and it went on the tarmac, bastard thing Good job I had willing suckers, oops, I meant mates, to fix it

I've got a 140 Dunlop Rally Raid on mine (908 I think)

It's hard as nails slips around a little on the mud but no real problem

I did have an Mt21 and the bike felt great on these when doing road work, I've only fitted the Dunlop for the wear rate - the front is still the part worn Mt21

My experience:-
AC-10s best for mud
Mitas CO2 - best for rocks, used by a lot of folks I know in the Peak District

MT21 are a bit less aggressive than these 2 and a good compromise between them.
Whatever you do, don't try chucking AC-10s or CO2 around on tarmac

Got MT21's on mine, will probably change the rear to a 908 RR to get a longer wear rate, someone on here said they last twice as long.
