We’re beta testing our new Schwalbe Radial MTB Tyre Selector.
It recommends front/rear combos based on terrain, riding style, grip priority, rolling speed, wear rate and e-MTB use.
Looking for 30 riders to try it and tell us where it gets it right or wrong. we want brutal feedback.

Sort of helpful. I feel I should probably be running shreddas instead of the MM/Albert combo I currently run.
The tool only cares about desired grip and surface tbh. It’s probably right with the recommendation, but it also says that most tyres are a good match lol and the recommended shredda r is 91% (or 81% depending where you look), but eddy is 100% yet doesn’t make the recommendation??

It recommended for me the front tire I like best (MM), it recommended Eddy Current in the back which I’ve been wanting to try, seems like a cool tool I guess.
 
It recommended my actual front tire - MM, but recommended Eddy Current on the back.
Run that last year - Summer / Sunny / Dusty / Rocks & Hardpack.
Yes it makes sense.... however, from someone who rode DHR2 DD before, I felt that Eddy Currents are a bit behind on grip, and hope the simulator would point me to:

BB - discountinued

It recommended soft Albert Gravity in front and an eddy current rear. Right now I’m on an ultra soft Albert Gravity front and a Romy non radial rear because I’m heavy. 115kg. Will take a look at Eddy Current. Neat tool. Thanks!

It can't point to Big Betty as it's purely for radial tyres
 
Thanks for all the feedback so far. A couple of those were clear errors. We have made some changes to the logic engine now. Feel free to check again.
