For me tire preference is a funny thing. I generally like to buy cheaper tires (perhaps like most), unless I know exactly what I need for a particular bike in which case I say spare no expense. But when I'm just not sure I much prefer to experiment with cheaper tires (and I have found some that are a great value). One low-risk, low-cost option I opted for on my Cimarron was the Nashbar Fuel (26' small block knobby) - I have been riding these for the past 6 months or so and have been so far pleased. For fast-rolling and cushiness I prefer the Schwalbes ( Kojak, Fat Frank or Big Apple...none of which work well in sloppy conditions). But for about $18 apiece and with a good balance of all around roll, cushiness AND off-road traction, the Fuels are definitely working well for me.
