Moulton Tyres & Tubes ?

[Christine]

I am struggling to get the right size winter tyres ( or just decent tyres ) & tubes for my Moulton TSR.
Using 20 x 1.10 anyone know of suppliers as I have been searching the internet & getting very little joy.

Just bought a pair of Continental Sport Contact 2 from eBay. Excellent price.
I have a Moulton TSR.

Bearing in mind that 406 is one of the commonest wheel sizes for hpv / trikes so if you find a specialist supplier of tyres to the hpv sector you should be spoilt for choice!
Here's an example: http://www.wrhpv.com/ukshop/tyres/406/
I've used a variety of Schwalbe tyres on my own TSR and have recently found their 28mm Durano rather good. https://www.schwalbe.com/en/road-reader/durano.html Schwalbe describe this tyre as being suitable for "training on wet winter roads".

[Brucey]

any decent LBS will be able to order in the tyres you need. Schwalbe tyres can be had in a day or two if they are in stock in the UK. BTW you may be able to go up a size to a slightly wider tyre (eg a 1.25" or 32mm), if you have room beneath the mudguards. This gives you a bit more choice and may suit winter conditions better.

There is a good selection of tyres here

which may at least give you some ideas

Thank you for the replies, sorry I don't seem to be getting notifications even though I tick for them to come through.
I had forgotten St John's Street Cycles & the small tyre shop is one I don't know, so will check them out.
I have the Durano's on now & they can be a bit slippery sometimes, plus the side wall is very thin, I had punctures from hedge cuttings recently & couldn't believe how thin they were !
I saw the Conti's on ebay but was told when i messaged they wouldn't fit, do you use mudguards Mick F ?

6 bar is 87 psi, near as makes no difference. I guess that is what you meant?

Nope - Moulton says 100 psi?

I'm putting 90psi or slightly more in the rear Conti SC. The tyre says 6bar 87psi.
