Team Tamarack Mountain Bike Racing World Resouces

Which summer Mountain Bike freestyle tyres do you recomend 2.1 to 2.3?

Last year i had panaracer fire xc 2.1 but i didnt like them.
The best tyres i had where Continental Vertical 2.3 but for some reason i had at least 6 punctures with them but they are highly recommend in bike reviews.

I would seriously recommend you the 2.3 – 2.5 for downhill and for any mountain activity, the thicker the tire the more traction you have over the bike.
