Who makes this tyre? (semi slick for MTB)

[juzzle]

Hi all,

I am about to undertake a 2,000 km road (and some trail) touring adventure on my new hardtail 29er MTB. For me, the right tyre in the past has been a "semi slick" - specifically, a slick centre patch with knobby edges. Ideally, the centre patch will be reinforced against punctures. The tyre was high pressure (80psi, therefore tubed) to minimise the contact patch, but as big as possible to cushion the spokes and my backside (I expect to be covering 80-130 km per day). My needs are therefore generally range described as - a "fat 700cc tyre" (slickish) or a 1.8 to -2.2 29er.

I had one such tyre on my 26" MTB a few years ago, but I have since sold the bike and have no way to determine brand of tyre. These are the best photos I have.

Can you identify this brand?

Thank you!

It's a CST of some description. Maybe have a trawl through here? http://www.csttires.com/int/bike/mountain-bike-tire/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Thanks Trailgumby! CST's catalogue also looks excellent. I also found this one - a Metro FlatFighter (though not in 29) https://www.velogear.com.au/bike-parts/ ... x-1-9.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
