Tyre Help.

In need of a tyre guru i think... these things are more complicated than i first thought... what i want is a set of regular tread tyres for tarmac and bridal path use... however.. i notice upon doing so that a lot of the time the wheels and tyres end up looking too small for the bike... specially compared to what a mtb tyre would look like.

How do i keep the bigger fat tyre look when switching... how big can i go.. how small is too small.. etc... i currently have 26 x 2.10 knobblies.. would these still keep the big tyre appearance... >>>>>>> http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Halo-Twin-Rai ... 2a20787c7a

And yes.. i want white walls for my little project ...lol.

Here's the pink version!

I also have a white pair, and a black pair with tan walls...

 

[stewlewis]

Yep Halo Twin Rails.

They're OK, lots of colours and quite popular too, they're recommended a lot around t'internet.

I did fall off using these tyres on tarmac coming down Gun Hill at 30mph, I blame the cow poo though, not the tyres.
