I'm looking for a pair of 26" tyres for an old hardtail, say up 2.2"

Anyone seen any good deals around?

Because I’d linked to the Planet X 26” tyre page where they had loads of good deals.
Recently.
But not so much now.
I think they have one tyre in 26”.
Possibly should have said ignore me.

Yes, having looked closer the PX 26" page mostly consists of bigger tyres. CRC have a surprising number of 26" stock if you apply the MTB tyre/26"/in stock filters - but cheap, not so much.

Are you after proper off road tyres, or ones that would do tarmac and light off-road?

If the latter and you can get to east Southampton easily, I have a few pairs of 1.9-2.35" pairs in the garage from my old 26" Saracen Pylon8 hybrid you can have...

Land Cruiser
Big Apple
Super Moto
Crazy Bob
Conti King(?)

I'm looking for all-round tyres for local bridleways, Gisburn, etc

The old ones were a Panaracer Fire variant (can't remember which ones) but have perished

I got some Nobby Nics from Merlin for £20 each, 26x2.35 and tubless too.

Just remembered, there's a 26" turbo trainer (Conti?) down there too and a Hurricane, all kept out of sunlight and hanging on what looks like an old wardrobe hanger rail... Although the Hurricane may have perished way quicker than all the other tyres I've mentioned (turned white/grey).

Merlin have 10 different new 26" tyres in stock, Halfords have some too including Land Cruisers (but they are saying ~6 days to click and collect), but their filter for 26" tyres is throwing up lots of 700c tyres too.
