24"/26" Tires

Hi, I posted this on the MTB site as well, but my bike IS 1985 so I'm trying here too. Thanks for any help!

I have a 1985 Cannondale SM600 with 24" rear and 26" front wheels. I currently have black wall Kenda K Rad and Kross respectively, not aggressive treads. I want to switch to tan/gumwall. I could not find any back when I bought these and can't seem to find any now. Anyone have some ideas? Maybe I'm missing some source. Looking for not aggressive tread. Thanks!

you can try Amazon and EBay too. Are you having trouble finding 24” and 26” mtb tires in general? Or specifically tan wall tires in those sizes?

I just got a pair of Maxxis DTH for my 85 Rockhopper. They look awesome but a bit expensive. You can find them at BikeTiresDirect, Nashbar, BikeInn etc.

Thanks. I was trying to find tan wall in those sizes that match if possible and have a not too aggressive tread to them. The black ones I have now have kind of a smooth section on the front tire (knobs on the sides) and the rear has very shallow knobs. I'm really not doing much real hard off roading. It's more of an aesthetic than functional thing since these tires work fine. I just haven't had any luck finding a matching (close enough) pair of 24/26. Thanks for the reply!
