• Something fairly robust but with good mud clearance. There's still a lot of rubble buried just under the surface that can destroy a tyre.

    Would those Grifo be a terrible choice then? My ignorance in this area is profound.

    Michelin Mud 2 with latex tubes?

    The wheels are already setup for tubeless, which I'd be keen to try, just to add another element of confusion.

  • Grifos would be a fine choice, but there is a risk they'll get damaged at HH. This is probably true for any tyre though, it comes down to how pissed off you'd be if you had to replace one.

    Most people I know who use tubs never run them at Herne Hill, as the chances of writing one off is higher than usual.

    Annoyed, but I can always walk home in twenty minutes.
