Blores Hill tyre choice

[RoscoeP]

hey all, I'm heading to Blores Hill in Gippsland this weekend for the VES series and wondered about tyre choice for the course?

I've never ridden it but from what i have read and seen the course stays quite dry (for the middle of winter)?

Currently running Ikon front and Saguaro rear and I think this should be ok, but open to any advice... although the last thing I feel like doing tonight is changing tyres.

I ride there a fair bit. Always ikons front and back. I run my pressures pretty low, around 23psi.
Not sure what sort of tyre the Saguaro is, but if it is made for speed, you should be fine.
There is a few rocky sections, so something with strong sidewalls is a bonus to.

I'll be there tomorrow, I will be the one suffering from lack of training..

Thanks for the feedback - sounds like my tyres should be right.

I will be the one suffering from lack of training..

A very common affliction, that one.

I haven't ridden at Blores in the last month. I know it got quite some rain a week or 2 ago.
Pretty confident the majority of the tracks will be dry with maybe 1 or 2 puddles only.
Your tyre set up sounds fine...have a good day

Rain inside the rain shadow?
