Anyone know where I can get some knobbly MTB skinwall tyres in 26 inch x 2 size?

I can find slick skinwalls but ones with a decent MTB tread are harder to source.

Skinwall (or tan wall) as per the colour of the wall of the tyre. Tyres have gone all black on MTBs.

All help, ideas where to get some appreciated. smile

God knows why ugly as, everyone loved it when they started making all black, more durable as well and don't stain. I had a all white Porcupine back in the day - another crap idea.

Looked at Halo twin rail but they're a street tread.

Re-issue Comp 3's in 26"? Can you point me to a website?
