26 x 1.65. Sidewall recommended max was 85. I ran it at that pressure for 13 years. Maybe the rubber broke down and couldn't handle it.

I would second something like the North Road.

Putting drops on a MTB entails some different parts (shifters, brake levers, etc). Also, the geometry may not be desirable after the drops are added.
