05 TYRES

Changing tyres isn’t an essential, but itting a chunkier set can give you more traction and reduce the risk of lats. Look for thicker or dual-ply casings. Adding a few psi of pressure can be a good idea for rocky trails and to stop your tyres squirming in high-speed berms. If you’re feeling l ush, a second set of heavierduty wheels with DH tyres is a handy luxury.
