Tyres for commuting / light off road / around town.

Moif · August 2012

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?

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.

Am currently researching and my currents are 26 x 2.1 so those I linked in my first post are no good - getting my head around the various size charts
