Default MTB XC Tyres.

Well I'm still running an old School Panaracer Dart on the front and a Ritchy Z max on the rear but both are due for a change. The question is what are you XC riders now using as I'm well out of touch with the modern choices.

Thanks.

Maxis high rollers all day long on my xc bike, give me loads of grip and plenty of faith, much more than the specialised tyres on my dh bike which are getting changed to maxis minion dh tyres

Panaracer Cinders are nice I'm running some Continental Rubber Queens at the moment, utterly superb

Stocked up on Panaracer Fire XC Pro when they were being replaced.

I've got a pile of tyres in the garage but ICBA to change much these days.

I've had the Rendezs on all year round. Racing Ralph is a bit lightweight for winter use if there's much muck around.

Was running Nobby Nics, cracking tyre but expensive and prone to punctures.

Now on Conti Verticals and they are superb, loads of grip!
