Hello all

The Boardman mtx bike I have has Schwalbe Tyrago 700x35 tyres on it. They do have quite a lot of rolling resistance on tarmac, as I can hear a "hum" once I'm over a certain speed.

What semi-slick tyres would people recommend? On my other hybrid I've had Continental Travel Contacts, which have been ace and long lasting, but I don't know if they are still available?

If you have clearance, 40mm or 45mm Caracal Race, plus chuck a latex tube inside it or go tubeless.

45mm is very comfy, my rear one is usually ~43psi for ~110kg total weight me and GT Bolt gravel ebike. And it flies.

~£43 each from Winstanleys.
