New Tyres

[DCBassman]

I have ripped my tyres of my old mtb because they are knackered and are wanting to get some new ones.
My MTB is trax, 24inch wheels, and wondering whether i would have to get trax tyres or whether i could get a different make of tyres but same size.

Anyone help me please
Thanks

I would have thought there was still quite a lot in the way of 24" mtb tyres around. For example, go herre:
https://www.schwalbe.com/en/reifensuche and select type mtb size inch 24, and look at the choice - nine tyres. And that's just one company. Lots more.

Same size would be fine

okay thx
Could i also get tubeless tires or would i have to just stick to the one that came with my bike
For tubeless, is it just the tyre over the rim?

You need tubeless-capable rims, it isnt just the tyres.

You need tubeless rims, so stick with what you have and tubes for now.

tubes are not that bad, tubeless gets messy!

Hi
does it feel different to go from tube tyres to tubeless?
Also, when u put slime in the tyres, what happens if u ever get a puncture or flat tyre one day?

Your bike will not have tubeless ready rims so you won’t be able to run tubeless tyres. It’s all a bit of a messy faff if you ask me, I’m happy sticking with inner tubes.
With regard to slime, the slime should almost immediately seal a hole, a small amount of pressure may be lost.

Looks like there is a few more since I lived in Edinburgh

I'm down south (Englandshire) now but when I lived in Edinburgh the Bike Co OP was a good shout as it was well stocked and there was a few other shops in the area. But Brunstfield may be tricky for you to get to. That Happy Biking in Uphall may be easier. Good luck :-)
