Recommended Tyres for MTB - To be used on road only.

[Glover Fan]

Hi,

Probably a question asked loads of times. Just been looking at my slightly neglected Specialized Hardrock in the garage this morning and as I am a poor man and can't yet afford a winter bike, am going to put some road tyres on this bike along with some proper mudguards.

Don't want to spend a massive amount on tyres, just want to be able to keep on riding during the winter.

My rim size is 559x18 if this helps.

If by winter you mean snow then any tyres with good mud shedding will be fine. If you mean ice then you are looking at around £40 a tyre to get studded ones. If you can clarify a bit it will help greatly.

Ah, not quite that extreme, just some tires that I can put on the mtb as I have knobblies on at the moment. Just some slick road tires to be honest.

What about some city jet`s ?

I used these on my subway and they were great for the price.
