with, but they don't seem to be manufactured for a 26" rim.

Can anyone suggest a good alternative?

You can get them for a 26in wheel here:

From memory, 26" Schwalbe Marathon Plus are available in a choice of three
widths: 1.35, 1.75 and 2.00cm. Expect to pay around £25.

I'm confused. A quick look at SJS turned up Marathon Plus in 26 x 1.75

See http://tinyurl.com/2s34rq , which redirects to:

Wiggle and others carry the same tyre.

Good point! 13.5mm would be a tad narrow even for a roadie :-)

To OP: Edinburgh Bicycle Cooperative (wot where I remembered the widths
from - used to work there) has 'em in those sizes but doesn't say anything
about the 2" one being an ATB tread or not, so I'd check if you're going to
order that width.

I have just done 1500 kms puncture free in France on 26" marathon plus's

In all, I have on, 3 bikes, done over 10,000 miles on marathon plus without a
puncture!

I'm just an old fool. Thanks to everyone for the help. Tyres duly
ordered.
