Hi there,
I want to replace the tyres on my mountain bike with hybrid tyres but I don't know where to start in terms of sizes, brands, types etc.
I live in a second floor flat and will use the bike to commute to work thus the reason why I think hybrid tyres would be better.
On the side of my current tyre it says 559x20 and having looked around I am assuming I need tyres 26 inches in diameter but as for width I don't have a clue? I've seen wire beaded tyres, folding tyres etc.but don't know where to start.
I'm hoping that one of you knowledgeable bicycle folk could please recommend a good tyre, which is reasonably priced (I don't want to spend a lot on the tyres in case the bike gets nicked!). Preferably £50 in total for 2 tyres, including inner tubes and all other bits required. I've seen some Specialized Armadillo tyres and they didn't look bad?
Please help! Thank you in advance.
