Bringing Frankenstein back to life...

Frankensein being the thread on tires.

Looking for a set of tires that does everything!

I have a set of Small Block 8s that I love but I have been having to change them out alot for muddy races and the like. I am using Panaracer Fire Downhill Pros for those environments, I love those too but they are beasts and roll lousy due to the huge nobbies. Looking for the best of both worlds. Probably not going to find anything but I thought I'd ask the masses to see what they have luck with.

I need something that rolls fast and also hooks up well on the sketchy stuff.

Thanks in advance for your opinions.

The Schwalbe Nobby Nic Evo is a fairly aggressive tread and it still rolls really well. The downside is they can be hard to find and are $$$$$.

Kenda Nevegals - they are a great tire.

WTB Mutanoraptors - 2.4
I haven't priced them lately but have always found them @ or less than $25 and they just plain work well.

2 sets of rims = best of both worlds
