Re: The future of MTB tyres...radial?
Depends what you're looking for I guess.
I suspect that Mary's or even Shredda's will be the radial tyre of choice over the winter, depending on where you're riding and how much pedalling you're doing. The Albert is a bit more of a middle ground kind of tread, works better into the drier and rockier conditions, where we all know the Mary performs in typical UK conditions (and why it has been so popular) and then the Shredda is really for those who want all of the traction all of the time in soft natural conditions.

Looking at a pair of them for the “Hanger Queen”.
"Of all the stories you told me, which ones were true and which ones weren't?"
"My dear Doctor, they're all true."
"Even the lies?"
"Especially the lies."
