Road tyres vs Mountain Bike Tyres
Which would you prefer when you commute to work on your mountain bike?

Re: Road tyres vs Mountain Bike Tyres
I tried 2" slicks on an mtb. I don't like them much compared to a roadie or an mtb with 1.5 slicks. They feel so massive.
I would however definitely go with a kevlar belted narrow slick unless there's so much sand that it's impractical to either push or just take it easy & bike over carefully.

Re: Road tyres vs Mountain Bike Tyres
Just changed from road tyres to Mountain bike tyres. Realised that I had to cycle harder but somehow I managed to achieve similar speeds!

Re: Road tyres vs Mountain Bike Tyres
I've been running Michelin TransWorld City on my commuter MTB, but living near Seattle, I spend a lot of time in the rain. They're great on wet pavement, not bad on hardpack, fairly puncture resistant, inexpensive, and the reflective sidewall is a real bonus!
