Apologies! Bought a 2nd hand croix de fer off here, very pleased. However the tyres are a little worn. Schwalbe landcruiser 700 x 35c Active k guard.

Replace like for like? Go wider? Can i use them tubeless ( really want to) . A little rooty off road, gravel and road please. Puncture protection important

Also, mudguard recommendations?

Thanks!

Mudguards - SKS Chromoplastic but watch out for the fixing point at the bridge on the rear, they have a habit of snapping.

My CdF came with Clement tyres, can't remember the model but if you check the Genesis site I think they still come with the same tyres. They handle mild off road OK, my commute is about 1/3rd canal tow path. An alternative might be something like the WTB Riddler in 37C format, I did the Dirty Reiver with those set up tubeless.
