Hunting for 26" tan wall tyres

[Dr Dremel]

They have a fairly round cross section and the tan wall is much taller than say Smoke/Dart -> Hmm sausages!

880 is optimistic for these. they are nearer a kilo. But they are £8, what do you want, moon on a stick?

Those terra one look great and more down to earth price for a lightweight tyre

Weights vary quite a bit. Mine averaged 990g .

As for terra one, i never really understood why, if they are trying to make retro tyres, they didn't go for 1.95". As 2.1" is just really too big for many late 80s early 90s frames. Its more a size i see as being more mid to late 90s......when black was becoming more normal.
