Mountain bike road tyres

Another +1 for schwalbe city jets.

Or the Marathon Plus ATB which is basically the same thing but more puncture resistant.

But to the OP, what tyres are on your bike at the moment?

The ones that came with the bike, Giant branded.

The stock tyres look similar to what came on my specialized hardrock - they don't look too knobbly. The reason I changed them was not for rolling, but for puncture resistance. I can't say I noticed much difference in speed, but I guess the marathons are heavier, so it might have cancelled out the benefit of the tread pattern.

I do notice when riding with a friend on nobblier tyres than mine, I think racing Ralph, my bike is faster than his on the downhills without pedalling, so clearly it makes some difference.

Just saying that I might not bother.

I think I will change them soon, not all that expensive it seems.
