I’ve just bought a workhorse / commuter for the coming year. That’s come with 700c wheels…..
Rims measure an actual 23mm wide. And the Vittoria Zaffino 28c tyres it’s come with - measure right on spec at 28mm wide at the widest point.
I’d like slightly wider, more all year round / light gravel / tow-path suited tyres. I have plenty of clearance at the back. Brakes look ok for going wider; and inside of forks measures right around 38mm clearance at tyre level.
So it looks like a 30c is very doable without pushing it 😎
I guess my questions are:
1/: Will all branded manufacturers; at 30c come up at 30mm wide on my 23mm rims ? ****Or are some known to come up narrow / wide accordingly?
2/: Suggestions for a sensibly priced, puncture friendly, general purpose, generally dry-use tyre with semi aggressive tread (Something like below tread wise as an example)…..
Thanks in advance 🙏
