Faster Mountain BIke Tyres?

[The Mighty News]

Hi, I have a road bike but love my Mountain bike too, any recomendations on a slimmer tyre to suit a mountain bike?

its a 29er btw.

Thanks

If it's a 29er, then any 700c touring or cross tyre will do. Take your pic...

I fitted schwalbe land cruisers to my wife and my 29ers, just for the summer/drier cycling. Will go back to the fat knobbly ones in winter

I run 28c marathon plus on my hybrid and landcruiser on my mtb.

The done shape of the lancruiser means it sits on the central rib on the road. Off road on anything squishy it sinks in and bites.

Continental Cyclocross Speed seem quite decent. Available in 700x35, light and reasonable wear apparently. CRC were doing them for £15

If you want 35mm tyres, I'd recommend Clement I've been very pleased with them on my commuter/tourer/light off-roader.
The tyres are fast enough on the road (thanks to the centre ridge I think) and the diamond shaped knobs on the side dig in quite well in mud although they can't cope with really deep stuff.
They also seem to have decent puncture resistance; touching wood I've only had one in ~850 miles and that was a snake bite caused by a sharp edged pot-hole that was full of water. Yes, it was raining hard at the time ...........
As a further bonus, they're also easy to fit and remove.

Mine are the (more expensive) 120tpi version.
