Hey Guys,
I live in New York, and am riding places like sprain ridge, glacier park, six mile run... so I really need a good AM tire. I ride a giant talon 29er2, which is a hardtail, and came stock with Kenda Small Block Eight, 29x2.1... I like them on the rear, they seem fast and now that im running them at a lower psi they arent slipping as much on me. However, i am less confident with them as my front tire. I have slid out on turns several times, mostly in moist conditions. I am looking for a good, fast front tire, that will handle much better in all condidions, especially when cornering.
One of the tires that i was looking at has been the Maxxis Ardent 29x2.25... was wondering what your thoughts on this tire, or any other suggestions may be.
Thanks
