  1. My local tracks are starting to get a little muddy and I'm
    starting to feel more like I'm wakeboarding than riding.

    Anyone care to recommend a good set of winter tires that can
    handle muddy clay ruts and damp slippery roots?

    FYI. I ride a hardtail at intermediate level.

    Cheers

    This is my answer to every tire question but Michelin
    Wildgripper XLS with Silica or if you have the room,
    Michelin Hot S in 2.5". You drop the pressure down on
    these and they are great in snow, plus they rule for
    everything else, the silica grips damp roots better than
    anyhting I have used. Wide rims help too so you can run
    the lower pressure.
