I've got a Quando 1 and a Quando 2 that need new tyres, the 1 due to sidewall problems and the 2 due to lack of tread.
The 1 has Kendo 2.125" wide tyres fitted and the 2 has Schwalbe 2" wide tyres fitted, I've also managed to get hold of a set of Schwalbe Marathon Plus tyres in 1.75" width.
So the options are:
Fit the 1.75" tyres to one of the bikes and get new ones for the other - which bike gets the 1.75" tyres and what to put on the other bike?
Get new tyres for both bikes - suggestions?
Is it worth getting the same size for both bikes or does the rear suspension make a difference?

I've found little ride difference between those two sizes on my Quando 2, having tried both.

To avoid spending more money, I'd suggest the 1.75 on the Quando 1 since it's soft rubber bung rear suspension will iron out any slight comfort difference you might perceive. Leave the 2.25 on the model 2 to gain their greater resilience comfort.
