Tyre Advice Please

Hi,

I have had a look for an answer elsewhere but have been unable to find one, apologies if this has been asked before.

I am currently building a bike from a hybrid frame that I have aquired, and am wondering if I can get 700c mountain bike tyres that to go on it?

I will be using this bike for 2 purposes, riding to work on light trails and going on the odd weekend ride on the local trails and fire roads. I have a set of hybrid tyres for the first purpose (700c X 43 I think) so that isn't an issue.

For the second purpose the hybrid tyres would be no use as I would be riding on fireroads and they are like riding on ice! I don't plan on doing any real rough trails on this bike so the frame wouldn't be getting any real abuse, I have an old cheap mountain bike for that!!

If anyone has any advice or links to recommended tyres that'd be great!

29" MTB tyres fit hybrid 700c rims, they are just different names for the same standard. 29ers run wider so check frame and fork clearance.
