I like the Continental town and country tire. You can get it in 1.9 or 2.1.

I have a set off town and countires on one of my other bikes great tires but they just don't seem, right for the Hardrock which really needs better quailty nobbies.

Can you fit wider than 2.0"?
Nothing period correct there I suppose. Gumwall knobby might look good with the blue frame.

I've been looking for some "better" quality 26 x 2.0 tires for a '92 stumpjumper I plan on building up.
They're not cheap at around $40 apiece but I like the panaracer ribmo 26 x 2.0 tires.The weight isn't bad at 560 grams per tire, I like the quality of panaracer tires, and they use good anti-puncture technology.

For the 92 Stumbjumber Specialized still has the basically OEM correct Ground control tires listed for $30 on there website. I'm considering going with these or maybe the Hardrock-Rs for my bike.
