I've just been informed that Hutchinson Python's are a suitable tire for the GR300, I have just purchase some 2011 Racing Ralphs Snakeskins 2.25 for my 29'er HT as I'm nervous to try a heavier tire (bike weight - 12kg's). I'm not so familiar with the published routes so a little concerned about tire choice.. :huh: would love to get some input from riders of the 2011 GR300 or those who have ridden the routes before..

Round ones, but since you mention 29'er, i think square ones if you can get. Here in Knysna any tire will work.

Racing Ralphs will be hundreds. Pythons not so much.
