Hi all

I'm looking for a tough 2.25/2.3 tyre that will handle some rock abuse (wales)but is good in the mud (Cambridgeshire). I,ve got 2.1 conti vapours at the mo and want some thing a bit more robust . It would also be handy if I can get a matching 2.1 as well in case I cant fit the bigger tyre on the rear due to frame clearance.Oh and they cant break the bank !

Dont want much do I :oops:

Thanks

    Another Conti tyre but with their ProTection system?

    Conti Vertical. They're 2.3" but size up quite small.

    I used to run them year round on a couple of my bikes and punctures were very rare plus they're very effective in most conditions.

    No, just the cheapest ones.
