Looking for recommendations for fast rolling tyres, most of the terrain will be tracks, gravel, canal paths and tarmac, so full on knobblys are a bit ott and bit draggy. Will be used tubeless.

This is what I'm finding, lack of 26" options now, I have some well used specialized tyres but they're a bit worn and dragy, I've noticed Spech have dropped 26" tyres now.

I did look at the Billy Bonkers, I could try them tubeless and see how they work, I've done that with other 'non-tubeless' tyres. Looks like they do a wired and folding version.

I always favoured Panaracer Fire XC's on my old 26 Commencal Meta - light, fast rolling, grippy and reasonably priced. Only downside was the side walls are quite thin and therefore vulnerable to nicks.

But not sure of they are tubeless compatible.

Yes, they are and still a bargain:

Thanks a good option, 2.1" wide is good too, don't really want anything wider. £20 each is reasonable as well.
