Withdrawn Marin rockstar tanwall tyres

[Mod-Master]

Mine I think are toast, I need some that have a nice sidewall and good amounts of tread

I will consider other tyres, like perhaps tanwall wtb velociraptors but mainly looking for Marin

Hi There Mod-Master, just joined here but I'm a bit of a Marin obsessed chap. Recently picked up a Bolinas Ridge '96 and fitted tan-wall "Lucky Stone tyres from:

Mountain Bike Tyres

Colourified your bike with these mountain bike tyres

It's the one's marked as sold out however they are on ebay at ~£20 per pair. They not only look good on the bike they actually work well too. Good luck finding genuine Marin tyres, I hunted for months to get a pair for my other Marin. ATB - BOBU

The Bolinas. Just so you can see how they look!

However, they weigh a ton! My pair were 830g a hoop!

Wow. That’s a lot. But I’m sorted and got some new tyres.

Wow, that is heavy! They didn't seem that bad when I fitted them but I'd stripped out the Schwalbe road tyres a few days prior. I originally fitted a pair of Duro Vantage tyres which looked VERY Marin however one sidewall had a bulge I didn't notice and MAY have caused a buckle on the rear I've trued it now and put the tyres shown on and they have worked well, road and trail. Glad you got sorted, ATB - BOBU.
