Slick Mountain Bike Tyres

Hi Guys,

Not really up to speed on what bits and bobs for mountain bikes are out there.

Looking for slick tyres for commuting for 26 inch wheels. Currently have

on the bike and looking for something considerably faster, better still if they don't cost a pile.

Any recommendations ?

Thanks Paul.

I have these on my "going to shop bike"

They are very comfortable and roll along very nicely.

I have also used these in the 26 X 1.1 inch version.
Really fast

Thanks guys,

Tending towards the Schwalbe city jets, low rolling resistance looks great and decent puncture protection too.

Their pucture resistance is rubbish after a while,but they are a good tyre

Not much glass where I am, looking to possibly use the MTB in roadie spins so just need something that matches a typical road winter tyre.

They're also only €16.50 on chainreactioncycles.
