[Closed] What Tyre is best for me?

Hi there,

I am mainly using my bike for the commute to work that is a mix of a gravelly well drained path and the road.

The 2.3" MTB tyres I have on there are dragging really badly.

What I am after is a recommendation of a nice chunky tyre that will not drag too badly on tarmac but also be reasonable on a gravel path...

Any ideas? I am thinking of a BMX style tyre? I certainly want something more robust than a 1.75" road type tyre.

Thanks.

Rysz.

I've used Spesh Crossroads in the past too and they worked quite well on a mix of road & gravelly 'off-road' type stuff.
Lasted ages too.

I bought myself a set of Specialized Hemisphere Armadillos years ago when the old bike got relegated to commuting duties.
The same pair are still going strong. No punctures in around 5 years either.
