The Best Spring and Wet-Weather Mountain Bike Tires
Finding the perfect springtime mountain biking tire can be as challenging as a technical granny gear climb. Ever changing weather can drastically alter trail conditions from dry and dusty to wet and muddy. Here are nine tires that will help you keep the rubber side down no matter what the trail conditions are like. — Jason Sumner
Bontrager XR3
Bontrager splits the difference between XC race and all-mountain adventure with the XR3. This single-quiver option utilizes an open, aggressive tread pattern with a fast-rolling center mated to trail-biting shoulder knobs. Wide spacing between knobs enhances mud clearance. The XR3 is available in both standard and tubeless-ready versions for 26-inch and 29-inch wheels. Bontrager attempts to alleviate the typical tubeless-ready weight penalty by using a thin, glycol-based sealant to achieve the same airtight, bead-to-rim interface as standard tubeless tires without the added weight.
Sizes: 26x 2.1, 2.2, 2.3; 29x 2.1
MSRP: $30-$65
