I know it’s come up a few times on this sub that the stock tires/tubes really aren’t the best. So I think I’m ready to upgrade my tires on my hard tail to have something more resilient to annoying tiny thorns.

Are there there any all terrain tires you highly recommend that fit the bike well and have made a difference in getting less frequent flats?

Additionally, has anyone found the use of tire liners like Tannus or a similar brand a real game changer in preventing flats?

Ended a 10ish year hiatus by getting all new gear two weeks ago, and riding Newport the last two days.

Didn’t get many waves but damn does it feel great to be out in the water again. Have a lot to relearn and catch up on but I had just as much fun watching guys rip as I did paddling my ass off and wiping out here and there.

I’m tired, sore, and can’t wait to go back for more.

Plus while getting my gear together at my car, a dude saw my set up and hooked me up with a Boogie Land sticker, chatted with him briefly while out in the break. Taking that as a “welcome back” sign 🤙🏻
