    Maxxis High Rollers are great but a few things.....

    what are the conditions you ride,
    what tyre is on the front,
    would you rather a grippier or faster tyre,
    are you going to replace the front as well?

    i ride in all sorts of conditions to be honest so a all around tyre would be prefered i am cycling to work aswell, im looking to change both front and rear.

    Personally I would look at two Minion SP DHF 2.35's

    Run the rear the wrong way around and you have two really grippy and fast rolling tyres.

    Go for the kevlar/folding beads if you have the money since they are even lighter :D

    Either Next Day Tyres or Chain Reaction Cycles.

    They are about the only places I order tyres from unless somewhere else has a much better price but I don't think there is at the moment.

    Maybe try a search in Google Shopping
