Eh up,
I need some new tyres...I was thinking of going the trusty route and getting some Comp 3's but I was eyeing up some Maxxis Holy Rollers.
I have read they are a bit thin on the side wall though....Being that I am not exactly the lightest guy are they going to be ok.
Also, will 1.95 fit on the same rim width as do 1.75? Is there any benefit to running 1.95?

:)1.95s will fit just fine.I`m running a set of Supercross Bluestreaks on my current bike-pretty good so far.Maxxis have a new race tyre out £20 each but take up to 110psi.Also Intense Micro Knobbys are worth considering.

Schwalbe Moe Joe (folding), I was on their "mad mike" comp 3 jobs, changing the front tyre alone was a 1lb weight save :shocked:

Holly rollers are a great tyre, current trend is to go thinner. I would go for a 1.75 front and a 1.5 rear personally. if it's for a race bike.
Intense tyres are light, The source should be getting some of their super light innertubes in stock soon as well.

I bet you wish you hadn't asked ;D
now which do you pick
The schwalbe moe joes are light though pretty wide
The trend seems to be for the Intense micros though round where we ride

i run holy rollers on my racer. a fat one at the front and a skinny at the rear! they are good tyres! but im quite interested in Intense's tyres too!
