It's a 406/559 tyre mix (20" / 26") touring recumbent capable of taking up to 2" tyres. Currently got some old schwalbe tyres similar to supremes or racers I think. Front tyre is different width and model of tyre. They're still good tyres despite having a very old looking Schwalbe logo on the tyre with the word tour on it. Certainly I've not seen a modern tyre like it.
Anyway, what tyre would you suggest for general riding and touring? Same width front and rear or wider to rear like its got now? Should I go wide for comfort or narrow leaving road buzz for the full suspension to take out?
On an upright I like marathon pluses for winter so I am as neat certain I'll not puncture. Summer I might keep them on or go for plain marathons. Used vittoria hypers for a few years in better months. Always 35 to 38mm width. However I'm not really up on what is best for touring recumbent bikes like this one.
It'll be used on a 2 weeks overseas tour this summer and a few leisure rides to get used to it before the. Possibly few long weekend tours in the UK top. Not my commuter these days, that's a train and Brompton.
