Anything else suitable for winter xc at Thetford?
Yeah, you don't really want to go much above 2.2 with a narrow rim.
You don't need a huge amount of tread for Thetford, even in the Winter. If you're racing, then something fast rolling, but within reason. Maybe a Shwalbe Nobby Nic front/ Racing Ralph rear or Maxxis Ardent front/ Crossmark rear.
This place is good, if you need them quickly.

Try to avoid the cheaper compounds from Schwalbe and C**tinental, as they're a bit plasticy and will try to kill you.

I think someone else warned me off Nobby Nics but now I can't find their comments.
"Despite what they look like, they are not that great in muddy conditions as they just clog."
One of the guys in my club suggested "Tubeless-Easy Snakeskin Schwalbe Rocket Rons Evos (2.25"). Fantastic allround mtb tyre."
I'll add yours to the list.

So, they should match the bike then, which has skinnier rims than my feckin' TT bike.
Is it a stupid idea to fit skinny tyres? I think 1.9-2.1 is about it. 2.3s will probably fit but not sure they'll handle well bulging high.
