Road tyres.

Looking to put some tyres on the mountain bike I have. Could any one offer help on what would be the closet I could get to racer tyre's. Any help on tyre's and tubes I need is much appreciated, looked on ebay and loads to choose from. These are the rims on the bike Rims: Sun Ringlé Radium MA 29, QR/QR

Thanks.

The lightest, thinnest that will fit on your rims. Which are what size?
What do you want to ride?

But I prefer fatter slicks for commuting. Just as fast and more comfortable.

If you have 29er wheels you can use 700c road tyres, I'd use something around a 28 or 32mm, they roll with lowest drag, only a small aero penalty over thinner tyres but nit really relevant if you are in an MTB.

I've used Schwalbe City Jet tyres and Continental SportContact on a mtb for road use for many years, roll well, no puncture issues and doesn't drain your wallet. I think 1.5 to 1.65 size rings a bell with me. This was on 26" mtb wheels on a hardtail

+1 for Schwalbe City Jet 2000 miles and still going and not a puncture in slight...

Another for City Jets....

If you search around you'll find many threads on just this.
