Hello,

I have a Saracen Mantra 2 and it came with Tioga d/h 26 x 2.3 tyres on it.

I want to purchase some tyres that are better geared up for the road with a little off-roading. 2.3 tyres appear to be few and far between, so I was wondering if 2.2 tyres would fit ok?

For example I was looking at Continental Race King wire.

Can any body help? Not sure if you need anymore info.

Thanks in advance.

    Yes no problem.
    But those are horrible tyres. Nasty compound.
    Generally folding bead tyres have better compounds and are worth paying for.

    Have a look at Kenda small block 8 tyres if you want a road and trail tyre. Probably the best middle-ground.
