Anyone know of any new tyre offers from the shops – looking for a larsen and maybe ardent or similar

Specialized 2bliss tyres are pretty good value for money IMO.
I’ve been using Eskars (£22.99 each) for over a year now without any problems.

halo choir master

get what you pay for!
(Too a point that is) 😛

Maxxis ADvantage, 15 sheets for the 2.1 but they come up big. Not much more for 2.25’s.

Found them to be pretty good all round tyres so far.

Eskar’s a good one. Never used one on the front yet but it’s an ace rear tyre.

Does it have to be a proper tubeless tyre? Maxxis generally seal up well in my experience, had a couple of minions and swampthings and no bother.

Not Maxxis, but might be worth having a look at On One, they’ve some good deals on Schwalbe.

ditto specialized using x4 of em ace.
