You're pretty well stuck with a London taxi tyre for your old bike. No I've never tried one - I live near London!

I know that even with dedicated bike tires, we can only go with up to a 140 width tire (up from the stock 130) due to clearances (or lack thereof).

It sounds like they get more mileage out of them so the price is cheaper.
