<p>I've had good results in similar dry conditions here in CO with Hutchinson Bulldogs (haven't tried, but they're tubeless ready). Right now running Schwalbe Racing Ralphs which hook up even better than the bulldogs due to their slightly slanted shoulder knobs.</p>
<p>I had terrible luck in dry conditions with the Grifo's; tiny round shoulder knobs wash out easily in the loose, and once they go, they go! Did have good luck with them on green grass courses though.</p>

<p>I think the selection is wide open. For those conditions (especially the big rocks) I'd go as big as you can. Panaracer Cinder-X, Kenda Kommando or Straight Six, Clement PDX, Specialized Tracer, Schawlbe's Rocket Ron, Ritchey Excavaders - or, if you can find them and not worried about UCI regs, the Ritchey Zeds are fantastic.</p>

Thanks Rob. Sounds like an open, aggressive, all-around tread is the way to go?

<p>Nick,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>For our area tubular tires run the best, but if you have to go clincher I recommend challenge Grifo or Schwalbe Rocket Ron. On the rockier courses a little more pressure than normal helps combat the flats.</p>
