Hi all, I moved to a new area that is arid (central Texas). The ground is dirt/clay, but it can be so dry you tend to wash out in the corners like its sand. Any recommendation on tread pattern or particular tires that are good for this terrain would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

[image] XC Race Tire Thread Equipment I was running Mezcal 2.25 front and back here in Northern Nevada, but found a mezcal in the front made for weak corning. I switched it out for a 2.25 barzo and never looked back. I thought this was a winning combo, but I have gotten 6…

No trouble with rips on the 2.25 barzo tho? Why switch both front and back?
