Looking for some new tyres to go on a Boardman FS Team.

Keen to be pucture proof and relatively light... not as keen on tubeless as not as familiar with them unless this is the only way to go.

Keen to hear what you guys find give best grip, braking etc.

Cheers for any advice.

Just really getting into it again... so regular single track like Bedgebury Forrest at the moment but as I have nowhere local it will only be limited by distance from London (i.e. 1.5-2hrs drive) and keen to take on as many different courses as around...

Thank for advice so far though obviously there's not one clear answer.... The mountain king 2.2's seem to get bad reviews off everyone else...

The reason for the change is that the others have worn through...

So obviously larger tyre on the front than back but any others?

Roman, Pablo.... Etc

Wadda...?
That would be "what do" in Queens... Any advice now that it's more clear??

Thanks for the great contributions so far... Totally appreciate everyones riding is a little different...

Guess I'm also asking what's best avoiding as much as anything as don't fancy dropping 50-100 notes on a set of "punctureprone gripalittles'...
