Hi all,

I'm looking at putting road/hybrid tyres on my Triumph MTB.

But, which one would be better? I've got experience riding with hybrid tyres - as my father's mountain bike had hybrids, and I nicked them for transportation while my tyres were being repaired and serviced.

I found them to be an incredibly smooth ride, now that I've got my old MTB tyres back on, I can feel every damn bump in the road - and let me tell you, New Brunswick isn't exactly the most cycle-friendly place when it comes to roads.

Dad needs a new rear tyre anyway.

But, if I were to go with road tyres - which I've no experience with. What are the advantages of using road tyres?

Lastly, what are some good brands of road and hybrid tyres? My LBS carries a good number of road and hybrid tyres. Brands like Bontrager are found there, at least on their website.
