Recommendations for 20" tire with smooth center and knobbies
I just purchased a used Downtube IXFS that has street tires on it. I would like to install tires with a bit of offroad ability,...suitable for hard pack single track and occasional gravel or sand. My current tires are 20 x 1.5". Looks like I have a bit over 3" between my front shock tubes and my rear triangle stays.
This is a budget build, so looking for reasonably priced tires,...this bike will spend most of its time folded up in my RV.
Suggestions?
