Need to replace my sons Schwalbe Table Top tyres on his Scott. They're not up to trail riding, which we knew but as we do more he's reaching their limits and he washed out in some clay'ee mud and bashed his knee, chalk up first trail crash and now he wants grippier ones before we go again.
So purely for Trail riding and I was looking at the Maxxis Ignitor or the High Roller. I heard the Maxxis tyres are measured differently so to buy bigger. The Table Tops are 2.35 so I was looking at a 2.35 tyre to replace them in the Maxxis range or a 2.1 otherwise.
Suggestions and experiences very welcome, he's not a cautious rider but he's also not yet a strong rider, so I've got half an eye on tyre drag but not the exclusion of buying the best tyres.
