Morning folks
From new the bike was fitted with Clement X`plor M50 700x40c tyres on WTB 19 rims. Not really suited to my riding and the rear is getting pretty bald now so its time to change the pair. I commute almost everyday (on road) and im looking for good grip mostly. Any suggestions ?

The one thing I like about the MSO tyres is how incredibly easily they come off and go back on. Would really like the same in my new tyres if at all possible. Oh yes my bike is a 2017 Kona Sutra with full mudguards. I think Kona say the bike will take up to a 45.

If you commute mainly on road, then perhaps consider a full/semi slick road tyre.

Maybe also play around with different sizes in width to see what else comes up.

you can get these in 38c:
