hey i need some ideas on a mountin bike tires price and quality
cuz my first hard ride with my holly rollers and my tires are all shred up so any ideas ho i can prevent that and or new tire ideas?
 
Nokian, a Finnish tire maker famous for making the best automotive snow tires in the world also makes amazing mountian bike tires, but alot of people don't know this. I had a set on my bike and they were absolutely fantastic bot on and off road, but they make great tires for trail only applications. Another great mountain bike tire is Continental. Made in Germany and very very tough.
 
if its purely trails and Dh you ride the recomended tires are maxxis minnions- there about $50-$80 each depends on lbs.

you can also get a triple compound tires id suggest dont get them they appear good but are crap tires and not worth the money.

personally i ride a michelin and a highroller.
i run the michelin soft compound on the front as they cost $100 and the front doesnt wear out as fast,
for the rear i use the highroller but i put it on backwards which improves grip, the highrollers are about $50.
dont get kenda as the side walls are very thin and you will get popped tires feqently.

order of personal opinon
maxis minnion-$50-$80
michelin-$100
maxis highrollers-$50

this tires are the best for mountain bike riding/racing and provide excelent grip

as for prevention theres nothign much you can do just dont leave the bike in the direct sun which will stop tires from drying out and cracking, the only real thing that makes your tires last longer is getting a good quality tire.
