My friend wants to turn her hybrid into a something that rolls a bit better.
She has 26"x1.95 'offroadish' tyres fitted on at the moment so I suggested she gets thinner, slick MTB tyres.
She's on a budget and I found these on ebay, £9.99 a pair, 26x1.5 but they will definitively be rubbish.

I had a look online and I found a couple like this Michelin City 26x1.4 at £11.99 a pop: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=58799
I know that's already better quality.
Or even those Schawlbe City Jets at £19.99 a pair.

Do any of you have 26" slick tyres lying about either new or very good used condition?
