Tire size in the bike community has been an argument among individuals that is older than time itself. People are always arguing on whether 26" tires or 29" tires are the best to use. 26" tires are almost completely gone now and have been replaced by 27.5" tires to try and found middle ground between the two. People say 29" tires are safer and have better stability. It is also argued that they are less responsive and make wider turns. People say 27.5" tires are faster and make sharper turns. Although they slip around more when the ground is wet. There really is no middle ground and the decision has to be made by the rider themselves. I ride 27.5" tires to go faster down the trail. Although that is just my preference.
