What Bicycle Tire for my Giant Boulder?
I ride a Giant Boulder Mountain Bike and the tires are fairly worn out and I think it's time for some new ones. It currently has a tire that I have never heard of called a Cheng Shin Tire in a size 53-559 26X1.95.
I have not been able to locate that tire anywhere online so I would like your recommendation for a good replacement mountain bike tire for my Giant Boulder. Thanks in advance and nothing too expensive please.
Our Answer
Congrats on the Giant....my first Mountain bike was a Giant and I loved it. I miss that old bike. As for your tire question....really you have a TON of options for mountain bike tires and you have no shortage of options. One of our favorites is from Kenda and it's called the Kenda Nevegal. It's a great all purpose tire that should serve you well.
If we knew what kind of terrain you normally ride on we could probably give you a better selection but you didn't include that in the question. So, if you're looking for a great performing mountain bike tire then check out the Kenda tire. They're great.

I put inverted tread tires on my mountain bike – because I mostly take paved roads and I really like them – they are much faster.

That is a low end tire made in Taiwan. You can find one of equal quality at Walmart. All it has to say is 26′ X 2″. Or go to sell a ton of mountain bike tires at good prices.
