What MTB 26" 'Tubeless' tyres?

[megaphone]

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.

I've just done the same search for my commuter bike and its slim pickings for 26" these days.

I think the only viable tubeless option is Panaracer Gravel King which is available in 26 x 2.10
or a reneherse but they aren't cheap!

I am currently running Schwalbe Billy Bonkers Performance which rolls well but its not tubeless.

The Schwalbe hurricane I had before looked like it should have rolled well but felt draggy

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.

Maxxis DTH?

Not sold as tubeless but I'm pretty sure you can with them....

Maxxis IKON is worth a shout too and is sold as tubeless.

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.

£20 is a bloody bargain to be fair, I used to pay £35 ish each a few years ago and thought that was cheap at the time. Part of the dividend of running a 26 incher now I suspect.

Proper things, made in Japan too, a seriously good tyre
