Tyres and tubes

[LosingFocus]

After 7 punctures in 2 months it seems the cheapo Kenda tyres that came on the BSO are up to nothing and need to be replaced (I figure it cheaper than buying repair kits )

It seems Ive giving them some punishment offroad. All of the flats have been from thorns, nails, etc. None from pinches or sharp rims or brakes.

Ideas people? Dont want to spend the earth, so keep budget in mind. 26" x 2.125 (I think) are currently on there.

SCHWALBE CITY JET ?

Thanks, bit not sure they are knobby enough for woodland riding?

If your Kenda tyres are the Nevagals, they aren't that cheap and I've found them to be pretty good at handling crap surfaces, although they do puncture easily.

I've got City Jets on on old MTB / beater bike, and they can go off road as long as the surface is dry. They are hopeless in wet mud.

You can get Marathon Plus MTB tyres, for around £26 each from Wiggle. I have no personal experience of them but the M+ road tyres are generally well regarded.

No probs, was going to ask first if you wanted knobblies.
