Just put some 2nd tyres on to my mountain bike wheels, but now discovered
they are too wide for the current brakes as they are set. Is there a way I
can readjust the brakes so that the wheels can fit in properly?

undo the cable at the quick-release, loosen the pad post clamps,
reposition the pads so that each V-brake arm has adequate tire
clearance, clamp them back down, and then loosen the cable clamp, hook
the cable back in at the QR, and readjust the cable.http://sheldonbrown.com/canti-direct.html has pictures. It doesn't
directly address your specific problem, but the basic procedure is
there.
