Vintage Mountain Bike Tires

[ratzkiwatzki]

Can anyone suggest “age appropriate” tires for a vintage mountain bike. I have an '86 Trek 850 Antelope. I have Panaracer Swift Tires on it which I like a lot. But they have protective lining and are subject to puncutres. If anyone has recommendations for 26” x 2” “age appropriate” tread and sidewall design tires with puncture protection, I’d appreciate suggestions. Thanks

The puncture protection might he an issue, but you cam always add slime tubes...

Ah, thank you. I'll look into that.

@Tootyred didn’t you have some kid 80s cruiser/MTB tyres for sale? Perfect for an Antelope which was more of a trekking bike . I think @ratzkiwatzki might not be UK based judging by the spelling of tires though.

I do, but they are pretty old...probably not really great for full on use...

Also, no puncture protection....
