Help with tyre sizes

Hi All

Thanks for reading, it's probably a question you've heard over and over, but meh :oops:

I'd like to change the tyres on my rims but have no idea what all the sizes mean. My current rims are Alex TD-24 32H and my tyres are Scott "OZON" 26x2.0

What i would like to do is get some some tyres with less "resistance" if you know what I mean, but have no idea how slim i can go with the current rims :oops: My commute mainly consists of road and the ocassional pavement (yes, I know..)

Thanks :idea:

Hi,

Ive got a set of michelin city semi slick tyres that I fit for riding to work. They are 26" x 1.85. Lot quicker for tarmac riding, especially if you up the tyre pressure (I run them at about 80-85psi). You could probably fit thinner ones, maybe 1.4.

Hope that helps,
Si

I think the rim has an internal width of about 18mm so I would stick at 1.4 and above.
