Help chosing new tyres

ash7990

The time has come to replace the tyres on my Carrera Vulcan. It has the standard tyres on that came with the bike, they are 26 x 2.0. I use the bike to get to work and back, the shops, around town, friends house etc. So tyres suited to on the road. BUT I occasionaly go off road (not like you guys do) just on bumpy terrain.

So Im looking for tyres suited to on the road - and fast. But that are also capaple of a little off road. If anyone has any suggestions that would help alot, thanks.

Also am I right in saying thinner tyres are quicker/faster on the road?

Hi Ash, I wear Bontrager Jones ACX on my hardtail as I do a bit on all surfaces with them. Roll well, grip very well in the dry on anything, bit sketchy in loose wet mud, but they pay off. Worth a punt. Cheap on All Terrain atm I believe, as I just replaced mine.

I did listen to you, but I needed a new tyre fast so I settled for a Continental Travel Contact from halfords.

I only got the one as I dont get paid till friday, and I only "needed" one.....I want to get a few more miles out the front tyre before I replace it.
