what mud tyres?

[raymondluxuryyacht]

Hi. I am after some muddy condition tyres to fit my retro p7. Clearance doesn't seem massive and I am a little concerned that some modern mud tyres might not fit. I don't mind using modern if they will fit ok. What do others recommend?
I had in mind the Specialized Storm tyres, but the impression I have of these is they are quite big volume for the size and may be a squeeze to fit in at the rear.

Bonty Mud X.
Nothing else comes close.

heard good things about bontrager mud x tyres but i've never used them. Schwalbe black shark mud tyres do the job for me & they'll be put to the test again this weekend i reckon!

Seems this tyre has been discontinued according to Evans Cycles. The Mud xr looks similar but has very unsubtle sidewall logos (at least on the JE JAMES site).

Looks different elsewhere though, if I can trust pictures...

I was out and about on some Panaracer Trailrakers yesterday.

They did eventually admit defeat on a very steep wet rock and clay hill, but they were pretty solid in all the mud and dirt.

Totally pants on wet slippery rocks and roots though, and I have the grazes to prove it.

They are fitted to my 1990 Roberts, so not a lot of clearance on the frame, but the 2.1's slot in very nicely.

Thanks for replies so far. Any more to add to the shortlist?

Bonty Mud X all the way if you can get 'em.

Amazing things in the wet and mud, and actually roll well on hard pack.

any skinny tyre with a large tread pattern will do for mud
