Hi, my wife has an MTB with 27.5 wheels but she wants to swap the knobblys for something more suitable with less resistance for touring on the roads...does anyone have any recommendations?
Continental race kings 2.0 width size are very fast for mtb tyres.
They do a puncture resistant one that's also folding bead and quite light at around 550 600g
Not cheap but a very good buy for tarmac and easy off road stuff..no good in mud just hard pack
They're good for the road - tough, roll well - but they are totally hopeless in mud. If you intend to do tracks and towpaths you may want want to go for regular Marathons as an alrounder.
Kenda Kwests are nice as well. I use them on my Raleigh 26" tourer(CityLite) and they seem to do a fine job, so far. High pressure for a 26" tire, so they run very nicely on road surfaces. Off road they are good, but not great. As I do mostly road riding, they are fine on road and gravel surfaces.
