Another Tyre Recommendation Please

[Mburton1993]

My current bike (BTwin Triban 540ish) currently has Schwalbe Marathon Plus tyres (25c), last night they had GP4000ii’s (28c) but the back tyre quickly got a puncture, as it did the last time I tried them, I think they’re knackered.

I do like the Marathon Plus’s reliability but they’re heavy and a bit unnecessary and I like the GP4000ii’s, when they’re up.

I’m intending to go on longer (road) rides this year, so I’m looking for 28c tyres that are comfortable and will last.

Somewhere between the Marathons and GPs.

All tyres are a compromise between weight, rolling resistance and puncture resistance.
You might have a look at this site which looks at all three and gives some recommendations.

Gatorskins/Duraskins?
Conti 4 seasons (or whatever they’re called)

Presume you’re not looking at tubeless?

Yes, clinchers.

I think you can get Victoria Rubino Pros in 28. Quite a decent compromise.

Narrow for 28 more like 25 tbh.

I find my tyres last a long time when I leave them in a cupboard .

take some beating at that price. Wigggle own brand Prime Armour are a similar type - a budget conti 4 seasons - but a £ or two more than those rubinos at present

Pirelli Cinturato ,I've ran these for over 6000miles all through a British winter . Admittedly I run the tubeless , no punctures slightly slower rolling than Pirelli race but certainly a good all rounder

Durano Plus. Comfortable? No, not really. Tough? I've had three punctures on them, in multiple sets and many, many miles (something over 30k, I estimate). Not quite as tough as M+, but considerably faster.

Yes, clinchers.

Tubeless are clinchers

As a start you could move from marathon plus to marathon

I bought these at the end of April, I have done 1122 miles on them so far and they're great, thank you for the recommendation.

Also there now only £11.49 on Wiggle.
