Tyre options (or lack thereof)

[ovlov440]

Hi all

Even though amber/tan/gum wall tyres appear to be coming back into fashion, there seems to be little around in a 26" size as most seem to cater for the burgoning 27.5" market.

If you can find them Nobby Nics seem to be around £60 each which frankly is crazy pricing when you compare material quantity etc vs car tyres.

Are there any half decent options out there to the NN's, or even a striped tyre like the Panaracer Fire XC Pro but in a 2.2" or 2.3" width?

TIA

Ade

I am going through the same pain, although have found them here https://www.merlincycles.com/schwalbe-nobby-nic-performance-addix-wired-mtb-tyre-26-240524.html
I am scouring Facebook market place for seconds from people who have ditched 26” in favour of 275/29.
