26" tanwall tyres

[lawson]

What does one do when trying to get a pair of tanwalls in the above size.

I appreciate there is a market for nos ones and also period correct ones, but is there a source for either new style tanwalls in 26" flavour or maybe even reproduction ones.

Any guidance or experience on this would be gratefully received.

Thanks in advance, Mike

SimWorks The Homage by Panaracer 26x1.95. Semi-slick so best of both worlds with nobbies on the corners and smoother tread in the center

Panaracer Smoke/Dart Classics?

Is there a tread type you're looking for?
I picked up a pair of these for my BMX single speed budget project. So far they seem like they're a decent paved conditions tire.

Ride terra one rider t1s are good if you can get them

Schwalbe Billy Bonkers - fast tread and it's surprisingly grippy apart from in mud.

NOS amberwalss are out there if you look & not always mega expensive.
For me the right tyres are the key to a good retro build. A lot of the modern tyres are waay too tall in the sidewall & just look plain wrong on our old frames.
