    Hi, I have a hybrid Giant with 700 x 35c tyres. I want to get wider tyres with better grip for a bit of trail cycling. I haven't a clue what to get. Any ideas?

    The 700 is your main tyre size, after that you just need to see what is bigger than 35c, and make sure that you have enough clearance for them via the brake and the forks etc. I'd assume you would also what "knobbly" tyres?

    Rocket Rons or the like might suffice.

    CX Tyres?

    Can you take a picture of the space between the current tyres and the frame so we can see how much clearance you have left? Or even what bike is it?
