    Hi,

    Took out my Scott Speedster for a ride recently – I usually am an off roader but it was great being on the road and having a proper workout. Tyres are a bit ‘Gravelly’ for me and think I’d ride better with thinner ones. What do you advise?

    Thanks…

    If using tubes, Tuffy tyre
    If using tubes, Tuffy tyre liners or similar Kevlar liners work really well.

    what do you mean gravely? 

    what do you mean gravely?  general range for a roadbike like yours would be a 23 or 25mm potentially at a push 28mm with enough clearance.  Wider is the current trend with most i’d imagine running 25mm i’d go 28mm if i could. Wider should be more stable.

    If you’re an offroader who is

    If you’re an offroader who is used to running tubeless, and the rims you have are tubeless ready, then I would suggest something like schwalbe pro-one tyres or the 300mm schwalbe G-one tyres if you can fit them. 

    Assuming the rims you have are not tubeless ready, then I’d go for conti GP4000Sii tyres, which are generally very highly regarded
