Default Tire Question

What would be your tire recommdation forriding mud andslick wet clay. I tried to ride this stuff with the stock tireslast weekend and it wasn't pretty. It was basically like riding on ice. I'm thinking that this time of the year I rarely ride on the road so something moreoffroad specific may be in order. I'll change back to the stock tires to ride this summerand on road.

I'd like to hear sizes, brands and models you guys are running. Thank you.

I don't think there is anything that will work in that stuff, exept maybe tire studs. I ran into some of that stuff a couple of weeks ago and it was as slick as ice and very hard. I made it through on the stock tires, but barely. A guy on trail wings got stuck.

I am running the Dunlop 606 tires, but like was mentioned there isn't a perfect tire out there, you just have to pick one that will work ok in all your riding conditions.
