A 2.1 Small block 8 (which is pretty chunky) will fit in the front but not the rear. Micro mullet.

I put Schwalbe Little Joe 2.0 on front and back. Don’t forget to change the tubes as the stock ones go bang when inflated that big!

Something like this?

Not sure what those tyres are but is that the kind of thing you are thinking about?

I got conti cross kings for my youngest. Tried the ^ conti explorer too but the cross kings are 2" rather that 1.75" and the speeds my youngest goes I wanted to get a higher volume tyre and run them at lower pressures to give him a fraction more comfort. So far so good.

Yup exactly that!

Looking at found some Black Jack 1.9s: https://www.wiggle.co.uk/schwalbe-black-jack-20-19-tyre

Struggling to find the little Joes in stock and/or cheap.

Can find the Conti explorers, but as above would prefer slightly wider.
