<p>i think the slant six should be just before cx season - tell your bike shop you want them or email kenda - demand never hurt in getting something out faster! that panaracer cedric gracia tire should work well tubeless too - but we haven't tried it yet.</p>

<p>the panaracer cinder x, the big bro of the cross blaster (lower tpi) as been a good tire on a stans rim only - and the extra volume is nice for the trails. </p>

<p>So this is my new list of possible tires:</p>
<p>Panaracer cross blaster<br/>Clement LAS, and PRT<br/>michelin mud 2</p>
<p>(The Hutchinson got droped becasue I saw a set at my LBS and the tread looks small</p>

<p>Thanks, I am interested in the slant six (which I read about in issue 12) But have not been able to find them at my LBS or online. Do you have any sources for them?</p>

I haven't found any yet just read about them etc. They look good so I was going to get them soon, if they can be found.

<p> </p>
<p>We've NEVER had success with the Maxxis tires as tubeless conversions, nor Continental, FYI.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The one key with the Hutchinson tires is to make sure you get the carbon bead version. In our experience, these are a big improvement on the previous version for burp-free performance.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Good luck! I'm assuming you're still quite light and if so, you might look at the Panaracer Cross Blaster along with the Michelin, Vittoria and Clement options.</p> I have been looking at those…tag:cowbell.cxmagazine.com,2011-05-29:1198434:Comment:917092011-05-29T18:30:37.130ZNolan Van Dinehttps://cowbell.cxmagazine.com/profile/NolanVanDine

<p>Hey Nolan,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I use the Michelin Mud 2 tires with tubes, so I can't vouch for how they work tubeless. But I love the way they handle in dry conditions just as much as in the mud. They are good all-around tires, and they really grip in the wet stuff.</p>
<p>Also, I am running the Muds on Shimano Wh 7801 tubeless rims, and the bead locks into the rim really well. If you are a lighter rider, I doubt that they will burp air.</p>

<p>I used the Hutchinson Bulldog last season with good results.They were in most of the conditions that I raced in and when on grass they really hook up. I'm looking at the Kenda Slant six to try out this year. I like the bulldogs and didn't have any issues with them burping air. Good luck.</p>
