was looking at the mega mayhems, but IMO they are too much "mud" for my needs.
I want a tire that will still be smooth on high speeds gravel/dirt roads, so I guess that excludes "mud" tires like the mega mayhems.
I do gravel, forest trail with trees, rocks, some mud, etc.
So, I was looking at the:
GBC grim reaper , looks like a solid 8 ply compromise, that will work well on gravel roads yet be tough and resistant to punctures by rocks or trees.
ITP blackwater evolution (looks like a tamer version of the grim reaper?)
I don't know much about the mud lite xtr, looks ok also?
In that category of tires, should I just keep it at the stock 26 inch size? worth it getting 27 or not?
Right now I have the stock carlisle ACT tires. (same class as the bighorns, terracross, etc.... maybe a bit too tame for my needs? they are more appropriate for dirt/gravel roads imo?)
Opinions? I can't figure out what I want/need.
