Best all round performance road tyre

I think there are some 24mm specialized tyres that are very well regarded, dk what they offer in the way of puncture projection though

For racing it seems

226.4g according to my digital scales

the other one is 229.9 g but 269.9g in the box with instructions . I normally throw the box and instructions away once the tyre is on saving myself 40 odd g

I think those are Tubular's though?

These are what I felt to be the quickest tyres I've used: http://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/sp/ro...ein-fortezza-tricomp-folding-tyre/vredtyrf250

I use the ZLX's. They are a race tyre / TT tyre and all I can tell you is that you'll go like your ass is on fire. They are very fast.

Had many punctures @wam68

 

[Cuchilo]

I had one within seconds of leaving my front door on the zx . Unlucky maybe but .....

 

[jack smith]

Hopefully it was just an unlucky tube fitting :/ I've got the funds at the moment to get what I desire tyre wise so do I play it safe and get an everyday tyre or do I get the fastest and lightest available for the new bike... Decisions!!

Never had a puncture with them but they don't last long. Maybe 500 mile before they are replaced. I treat them as a race / TT tyre. Nothing more but I do love em. Planet X have great deals on them now and again at 14.99 each. You should wait on one of those deals to come and in the meantime look at something else. I'll let you know when I see a deal in them.

They do a 24mm and a 26mm. I have the 24 and its the best tyre I have ridden, in the dry. I don't have personal knowledge of wet performance as they are on my Zipps which have know acquaintance with h20.

I did ask mr.H aboutr they wet and he was less enthusiastic, saying "Grip is ok, but they do cut up more in the wet". At that price I want them to last.

Are you the fasted and lightest you can be, before you get on the bike.

To win you have to finish.

Every little helps, if I can have the fastest I'll have it, might make little difference but it's nice to know I'm riding the fastest I can afford
