Recommend me some tyres

[billcbr6]

Hi

Im new to the forum so if this has been posted before accept my apologies, Ive got a Ridgeback Cyclone Hybrid and also use it on tracks (muddy usually in NE England its the nature of the weather we have up here) and could do with some more off road biased tyres to the ones fitted which are more like racing slicks. I do like the Continentals that are fitted so any advice on what to fit over the winter months before I return to my road tyres in the spring.

Cheers

They work well in some mud/dirt roads altho as a yank, not sure what a 'bridleway' is.

Usually a sort of a hardpacked gravel or mud horse path. Nice in the summer but can get a bit soft in the winter.

I have got some simular conti ones (not exactly the same) on my hybrid and they have been great, they are a bit sluggish on the road but they will take almost anything along rutted tracks and lanes as long as the mud is not more than a couple of inches deep.
