Hello,
I'm in the process of cleaning up my Giant ATX 860 and I've got some b*stard huge tyres on there at the moment (see pic). I'm looking for replacements that I can use for riding about town, some light off road and possible commuting. I don't want to break the bank as I'm saving up for a road bike.
Current tyres:
I was thinking maybe these, anything I should be looking out for / avoiding?

Thanks.

Conti travel contacts. - Slick on top, nobbly bits around the side. A bit expensive, but a quality tyre and used to come with a free tube with every tyre, not sure if they still do.0
