Is there such a thing as this? I would like to have an all purpose tire (mostly road, but some light trails) in size 26x2.1 that will take a higher pressure than 65PSI.

Does this exist and does anyone have any specific suggestions? Thanks in advance for your help.

Continental explorers? somome I ride with has a set of 1.8" he pumps up to 70 or 80 I think, I cant find any tech data to back that up though...

Try either Panaracer or Specialized. Good luck.

Hutchinson Mosquito Air Light 26" x 2.0 is rated to 80 PSI. It's a ripping trail tire @ just over 400 grams that hooks up very predictably. It's rubber compound is pretty soft though, I'm not sure how long it would last on paved surfaces.

No, they don't, I have a set and they're up to 65.
