I do a decent amount of trail riding and I am looking to get a new tire this weekend. I have a 19in rim.

I want something that grips well but wont be shot after a few desert/rock rides.

What size should I get? Wider footprint vs. narrow?

I am also considering a trials tire...

Thanks!

The desert ITs wear like iron. The rear hooks up pretty well, but the front hooks up like shit. Regardless, those tires are bomb proof. They are heavy though, as they are 8ply, not the standard 6.
