I think by next winter, the range of plus tyres available will be much bigger, and there should be some better mud options. Maxxis are doing a big range I think and i love their tyres generally. Also Specialized will have two available.
My issue, (i've got a Jamis Dragonslayer 27.5plus with 3.0 vittoria tyres) is whether to drop down to 2.8 to hope you sink into the mud a little more, or stay big and get something with more pronounced blocks to kind of paddle steamer through the gloop.Charge bikes are shipping with 2.8's as they say they are better all round, and being a UK company, perhaps that means 2.8 and mud will get along better.
Also, by next year, I may have saved enough to be able to afford two new tyres....

Ha! It's a massively fun bike...it make me a better rider than I am! The one drawback, is the chupacabra tyres in the gloop....they are treacherous, and the cause of my knee pain since November! As soon as it dries up a bit though, they will be back to being magnificent!
In the current set up, it's right around 26.5lbs....I could get it lighter pretty easily.
For £750 beans though, the marin is hard to beat!
