New rubber on your mountain bike is as good as when you were a kid and got those new tennies you wore right out of the store and ran around the mall in just to hear them make that new rubber squeak!
A week or so ago I got new front and rear rubber on my mountain bike and these are even better than that. The rear is a Maxxis Ignitor 2.1, the "go to" tire for this area, especially for 29'ers.

Good traction, good rolling performance, good all around tire. The front is a new one for me. Usually I just put an ignitor up there too. This time I went with the larger "Ardent" in the 2.4 size.

Put that thing together with the new wider front bar (along with new brakes) I also swapped in for my OEM ones, and man!!!

You can just throw that inner handle down (with some good weight on the outside hand too) and SWEEET! Too much fun!!
