Bontrager redwall tyres

    I am looking to replace some tyres on my bike with the ROK cycle coming up and me doing a good bit of mileage for it.

    I have a Trek 7.5FX which originally had Bontrager red wall 700x28C tyres, as far as I remember. I got replacements for them which work well and don't get as many punctures (32C width). I'm trying to find these with a red wall as they look a lot better on the bike, or any other brand that has them, and haven't found anything.

    Can anyone point me in the right direction?

    The problem is that you cant buy bontrager tires online for some reason. And not many shops have them in ireland. not to mention the fact that these red tyres were used on the bikes only in 2010. My advise is to try but schwalbe tires, as they have various colors. Not sure about quality though. On my trek front tire has now 9500km and still didnt get a punture, but had to replace twice rear tire. To many cuts.

    Oh i forgot, I remember that bikeshop in Rathmines used to stock bontrager.

    Thanks Twinsen. I'm not married to having Bontragers but they do seem to be a good make. Anything in red and black that doesn't give me any trouble, I'd be happy with. I'll try the Rathmines shop but tbh I don't think they could be got in that colour a year ago which is why I ended up with grey wall ones instead.
