Need some new tyres for 26" wheels
Need some for XC but like to be able to go quite far over so need good side grip.
Suitable for most seasons, not too slick for the summer and not too thick for the wet winter months. Somewhere in the middle will do just fine.
Price isn't an issue but not REALLY expensive

Thanks

    Surfaces?

    To be honest it sounds like you need a tyres perfect at everything and you won't get that.

    I think you meant not too slick for wet winter or too thick (knobbly?) for summer.
