If you are faced with the choice of finding the optimal tire for your mountain bike, you should know the differences between cross country tires and gravity tires. Cross Country tires are lighter and have a less aggressive tread. They are perfect for long distances and efficient pedaling on mostly solid surfaces. In contrast, gravity tires designed for downhill and enduro offer more grip and stability. They have a deeper profile, are wider and more robust to withstand the rigors of high speeds and technical trails. So your choice should depend on where and how you ride. Do you want to do fast laps or dare to tackle steep descents and difficult paths? Think carefully about what you need before you decide.
