I have some Nokian Gazzalodis which have been on my bike for about 8 years now I don't even know if they are still in production but they are decent in the mud. They drag horrendously along tarmac though

2.3. They have lasted well but the bike hasn't seen all that much use over the last 8 years tbh.

My friend used to run Panaracer Fires which he used to swear by. They were a pretty reasonable price too from what I remember

Used high rollers last time i rode down a hill.

Ran Michelin Comp16's, they were good in track but pedalling the fire road to the uplift was a nightmare on them.
