i have finally got round to sorting tyres out for my old mountain bike, i want to start using it again, but it needs new tyres and tubes. i know car tyres very well, but bike tyres are all foreign to me.
i'm looking for a semi slick tyre its mainly going to be used for road cycling with the occasional dabble in very gentle off road, like footpaths and forests etc with the wife. it currently has very nobbly off road tyres and i've found on the road they are hard work. i'm not a pro cycler, and my bike is an old mountain bike with steel frame and no suspension made by raeleigh, got it when i was about 15 years old and its still useable just needs a clean up. if i really get into it then i might look at a decent road bike.
i'd like to know what brands are good tyres, and what to avoid,
or even specific tyre reccomendations,
bike wheel says i need 26 x 2.10
any help form our experienced pedal monkies would be greatly appreciated
currently been looking at continental bike tyres as i know they make good car tyres. and browsing www.wiggle.co.uk
