Not sure exactly because of it being a long term project, but roughly towards a grand.

Conti Traffics 09 are way more versatile than people give them credit for, those outer edges have great digging in properties and can handle a surprising amount of xc if you push them. More than you should expect for the price / design, that's for sure.

I really like the wheels, theyve been on for about 3 months and are still fine as for the tyres I mainly use me bike for work so mainly roads but they are pritty good offroad too I thought, they are as they say the perfect in between tyre! I think if you were doing solely offroad stuff then a proper set of offride tyres would be more suitable.
