Continental have produced the Grand Prix tyre in mtb size. 26" x 1"

It has the same tread pattern as the road tyre and is very light (c.200g)

Foldable too - with a kevlar bead

I rode them on my Specialised mtb over the summer on a commute (8 miles each way) and they are superb for use on the road. It is the closest to a road bike tyre that I have ever seen, is very responsive and feels fast!

If you ride an mtb mostly on the road and can feel the energy sapping from your legs with big knobbly tyres, you could do far worse than get a pair of these!

They seem very durable too and can be inflated to decent pressures too - I ran them at close to 100 psi

They are quite rare in shops and I had to search through a few on line stores to find one that listed them and had them in stock

I had a pair of these - super fast, but you need to make sure they're pumped up nice and hard to avoid pinch punctures...
