Seems as good a place to ask as any. Due to family health challenges, I'm having to come back to the UK quite a bit recently. Bought a nice and cheap (but oldish) 29er hardtail with a decent spec. Came with fairly knackered Race Kings that are very fast on gravel/road, but nearly killed me on SFAB bridleways which is where it will get used a lot. Going to buy some new tyres, but don't want to lose all speed on road as approx 50% of rides so far have been on tarmac. Would Cross Kings be a happy medium or something a bit more aggressive? Any other brands to consider? Internet is overwhelming with the number of recommendations and I have very little MTB experience.
