Any farmers amongst us?

look like they're designed to actually dig themselves in at low speed with a lot of weight on top...

You mean, like Charlie Dimmock? !

Fcuk it, I'll fit Panaracer Smokes both ends then!

I thought chevron pointing back at the top on the back wheel for traction. Front, forward :?

What with the worry of directional slicks on the cougar and now this.

Not at all worried about the Cougar tyres, just noticed the arrows when I put them on the rims. That's all.

Disc brake noise is probably just pads rattling against the disc by the sound of it.

I'm sad enough to know that the chevrons on the tyre are round that way so that as the tyre rolls forward, it pushes mud & debris along the sipes and out of the side of the tyre. It's a self cleaning strategy. the tyre can be mounted the other way for marginally better traction, but at the risk of clogging.

Smokes were for front or rear.

The Dart ruined it all because it is crap as a front tyre .

Well yes, if you're an XC dork. But if you're a rad DH dude and don't care one jot for climbing traction and you want the whole world to know it...
Two Darts pointed forwards is what you need
