[Closed] Help! Where have all the WTB Road Plus tyres gone?

Does anyone know where I can get hold of a pair of WTB Byways? Does anyone know when these tyres are likely to be in stock?

Everywhere I've tried is out of stock apart from Alpkit, which has the Horizon, but I'd rather have the Byway than the Horizon (I'll be taking my Marin Gestalt on the dirt).

Does anyone have any alternatives to the WTBs - must have a bit of tread and be able to set up tubeless...

I just procured and installed a pair of Vittoria adventure trail in 700c X 38 from Planet X.  They've gone up tubeless without too much bother.

Not had a chance to try them out yet but an initially blip round the block was promising.

Mega cheap.

Despite running byways on my Salsa Vaya I just bought a pair of these

Thanks for the replies everyone.  Fudge9202 - do those specialized go up tubeless and what's the clearance like with a 650 2.0 mtb tyre?

They go up tubeless fine my Vaya has 50mm clearance so should not be an issue, jonnyrockymountain runs them on his NS Rag and he recommends them, granted my Vaya has the byways on at the moment but they will be going on in the Spring for the forest trails( weather permitting)

Nice one Fudge.

I've just ordered a pair for my Vaya.

Now, who wants to buy a Fargo...
