A message from Schwalbe UK on road legal moped tyres:

"We do have moped tyres that fit 26" rims.

Article code is either

11322000 for 26 x 2.25 (2 1/4-22)
or
11323000 for 26 x 2.50 (2 1/2-22)

I can't tell you who we've sold any too because we haven't got any stock and haven't sold any for a while!

Because the tyres are nearly 70 mm wide, you will only be able to fit them to the rim. You won't be able to fit them into a standard dh/XC/ all mountain frame becasue of clearance. Unless of course you are custom building a frame to fit such wide tyres"

Found this very interesting, so did a little bit of research:

Also known as "HS 248" as per the Schwalbe tread design naming scheme. Tubular, rated for 100 KM/h (62.5 MPH). These tires have great load capacity:

112 KG (246.4 lbs) per tire in 26x2.25
136 KG (299.2 lbs) per tire in 26x2.50

Unfortunately, they don't appear to be sold in the US. I've found them on German websites tho. Pricing averages about $46 for 2.25 and $56 for the 2.5.

Picture of tread right here.
