Grip is where it all happens.
Reading Tyre Sizes
A tyre size is expressed in two ways. In inches, like twenty-nine by two point two, and according to the more precise ETRTO standard, which indicates the width and the diameter at the bead in millimetres: fifty-five six hundred and twenty-two for a twenty-nine-inch tyre, five hundred and eighty-four for a twenty-seven and a half, five hundred and fifty-nine for a twenty-six-inch tyre. It's also important to check the width accepted by the frame and rim.

All tyres are gathered on the tyres page.
Studs and Casing
Studs are chosen based on the terrain: low and close together for fast riding on dry surfaces, like the Hutchinson Taipan or the Panaracer Fire XC Pro; tall and spaced for mud and loose terrains. The tyre with flexible beads, which is foldable, is lighter than the tyre with rigid beads, like the Michelin Country Rock. Tubeless ready tyres, like the Vittoria Mezcal, can be mounted without an inner tube.
Inner Tubes and Pressure
Reinforced inner tubes, like the Hutchinson Koloss or the Schwalbe Air Plus, are more resistant to pinch flats. Check the valve: Presta, thin, or Schrader, like on a car. The pressure is adjusted based on weight and terrain; lower for grip, higher for efficiency, within the limits indicated on the sidewall. The Schwalbe Marathon Plus, nearly puncture-proof, is ideal for hybrid bikes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many bars should I inflate my MTB tyres to?
With an inner tube, you generally ride between one point eight and two point five bars depending on weight and terrain. In tubeless, you can go a bit lower for better grip and comfort without the risk of pinch flats.
What MTB tyre should I choose for muddy terrain?
A tyre with high, spaced studs clears mud and maintains grip in slippery sections. On dry, rolling terrain, low and close studs reduce rolling resistance and noise.
How do I convert my MTB to tubeless?
You need a compatible rim, a sealing rim strip, a tubeless valve and a tyre designed for this setup. You add sealant that plugs small punctures, allowing you to ride at lower pressures.
Why install a tyre with reinforced casing?
A reinforced casing is better at resisting pinch flats and cuts on rocky terrains, in enduro or downhill. It adds weight to the tyre; in cross-country, a lightweight and flexible casing is preferred.
How do I choose an appropriate inner tube for my MTB tyre?
The tube must match the diameter and a width range that covers that of the tyre, as indicated on its box. You also check the type of valve, whether it's thin or car-type, according to the rim hole.
