For general riding kenda 2.10 excavator dtc rear 2.20 telonix dtc front, amazing combo and seems to handle the mud quite well, haven't put them to a full test yet.
For when it's really gloopy mud x every time.

Sticking with my nevegal on the front, excavator on the rear for now, never really considered a need for more though I'm half thinking of something with a bit more dig for the front... I avoid the few local trails that get seriously swampy since I'd sooner not tear them up with a mud tyre, but not everyone has that luxury of course.

I'll be using my Nobby Nics until the front doesn't cope, then I 'll put a 2.1 Trailracker up front.
When the back doesn't cope then a Mud X will go on.
Now where's that "Get Out of Crash Free Card" |

Went out in the mud yesterday with a kenda blue groove on the front and a nevegal on the back, apart from sucking up all the mud (it's like clay round here in places) there were grippy enough.

Maxxis Minion DH F single ply, they do a pretty good job i think, but haven't got much to compare them to.
Gotta keep the pressures down though!

Plus one for that - best wet/mud combo going.

To be honest I'm still using to use a old to use the phase "state of the ark" mud tires thin tall tires with hard but tall knobs.
in mud the old mud mads are great. else where as you'd imagine they are fairly awful.
in past most of the areas I went where if not muddy at least wet. even when wet swinley/northdowns don't get wet enough to warrant such full on mud tires, since most is just surface mud.

Using the same ones I use for summer, cannot be arsed pi$$ing about changing tyres, depending on trail cvonditions I vary my tyre pressure and it works for me.
