I think a set of Skinwalls on my Spitfire would look rather nice. Now, as much as I am a tart, I don’t want to sacrifice grip/weight/rolling resistance etc…

Its mainly used in trail centres with trips into the Peak or Lakes. Any recommendations for options in a 27.5 flavour?

Onza Canis 2.25 would be spot on. You may want something bigger/grippier up front, but I found them to have more grip than a pure xc tyre.

Skinwalls are disgustingly grotesque. Make your tyres look like you’ve been riding through Bernard Mannings arse crack.

Awaits Flashy…..

They are truly vile, I don’t really understand why people are fitting them except to bikes that’re 30 years old or more.

Whitewalls are what you need:

They are conditioned to like/need change, so they buy crap they don’t need.

Limeade for green floaters. 😉

do they not only come in 29er size?

Awful things. They need to be left in the 90’s along with Ronhill trousers.

Maxxis do most of their range in 27.5 skinwall.
