DJEHB Posted October 31, 2021 Report Share Posted October 31, 2021 Anyone know of some decent 26" tyres that come in tan wall? I've seen Vittoria also do grey wall but seemingly only have 2.1 options. It's for a hex, so a mix of street and trials. Currently on 2.4 holy rollers. Ideally don't want to go narrow as like the rear wheel stability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daan Posted October 31, 2021 Report Share Posted October 31, 2021 Depending on how aggressive a thread you're looking for, Schwalbe makes some Nobby Nics in 26x2.4 with a tan wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you run one before? Be interested to hear a trials review Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daan Posted November 1, 2021 Report Share Posted November 1, 2021 I haven't on the trials bike. Have run Nobby Nics on the MTB in the past, where it's a decent all-round tyre if you don't go too extreme. Unfortunately it only comes in 26x2.4 classic skin (tan wall) with their 'Speedgrip' compound, which usually goes only in the back on a regular MTB, or on the front when you're running a speedy XC machine. So should be pretty fast rolling, durable and hard wearing, but not exceptionally grippy, especially when it's wet. It's comparable to Maxxis Maxxspeed (on a Maxxis Ikon), and better than Maxxis Dual (on a Maxxis Crossmark 2, which sucks in the wet), and the Nobby Nic has bigger knobs than both. Quality 26" tyre selection is getting thinner and thinner unfortunately, even black ones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
