So, the beasty knobbly tyres which came with my bike are finally wearing thin, and I'm wanting to get some more.
Seen these Race King Tyres, and a few said they're good for Tarmac...

My commute consists of Tarmac, gravel path and a little bit of dirt. Mainly Tarmac though.
However, I want the convenience of being able to just use my bike at weekends wihout having to change the tyres.
At the weekends I go on cycle trails! Again some Tarmac/path and quite a bit of dirt and gravel.

Would these tyres be OK.

They're £20 a pair on Rutland leisure, cheapest ive seen them!

    They're a fast XC racing type tyre, so they'll be faster than knobblier tyres. Not as good on tarmac as a proper slick, but not terrible. And they'll be alright for offroading.
