  1. Hi,

    I used to ride WTB Velociraptor kevlar tyres, very nice until they stopped making them (not the 2.1
    version, the slightly narrower ones, 44/50 or something?).

    Now I have a pair of IRC Mythos which are fine but seem to have worn quite quickly, also not that
    impressed with cornering.

    I'm looking for a pair of kevlar tyres that are front and rear specific (don't like same front and
    rear), also must available in coloured or skin wall AND I want them to be a thin 'ish tyre, 1.9
    would be perfect.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks!

    Daz

    1.8" Fire XCs (the high threadcount version)?

    Not front and rear specific though... I like the look of them though!

    True, but IIRC they tell you to point 'em in opposite directions. I didn't notice that part of your
    post 'til after I replied. I don't think I've used front/rear specific tires for years. The ones
    I've been buying work pretty well at either end.
