26" tire question

[Terry66]

Hey guys...so I use 24X3 and 26X2.125 tires on a lot of my bikes, but I am looking for something smaller than a 26X3 but meatier than a 26X2.125. I kind of like the looks of the Fat Franks. I am thinking either a cream tire or a whitewall. Any suggestions?

electra diamond vintage 26x2.35 cream...maybe?

I used the vintage diamond 26x2.35 on my build off bike. Great tires.I think they only come in black or cream and no whitewall available.

I know they're not cream but check these michelins out 8) 26x2.3

$40 a pop at Jenson

Terry, some of the new Huffy's run cream 26x2.35 tires. That's what I ran on Loco-cycle. I forget the brand name, I'll look tonight.

Terry,
I bought these Bontragers from my local LBS (any Trek reseller can get them)

They are Bontrager Solana, available in whitewall and blackwall 26 x 2.35 $24.99 each.

compared to a Fat Frank

compared to a 24 x 3 Thick Brick

Good luck!

Cheers,
Dr. T

Thanks guys! I am leaning towards the Franks, but the Diamonds look pretty sweet too. I think I've decided on cream tires. I have a nice set of black rims with a 2spd kickback and the cream tires would look awesome.

As of February 2015.. I could not find those Bontrager Solana in 26x2.35 whitewall anywhere..They're handsomly looking tires, I don't understand why they're unavailable
