Bling tyres???

[wyno70]

I'm going to buy myself some bling tyres for the summer and have narrowed it down to:

Continental GP 4000 S
Vittoria Open Corsa Evo CX
Schwalbe Ultremo
Michelin Pro 3 Race Light

Anyone got any experience of the above or advice??

I recently put the GP4000S on my best bike, given my positive experience of Conti tyres and I've been very happy so far.

Pro 3's are very good

Pro 3's are very good

+1 fantasic tyres!

I've been using the Pro2 for a while and love them, Pro3 are supposed to be even better.

They all get good reviews by roadies who use these tyres routinely. Don't expect the level of puncture protection afforded by thicker commuting tyres, and you might find plenty of people saying steer clear of one brand because they had a spate of punctures - it happens to them all.

FWIW I have GP4000 and GP4000S on all my bikes. Miles better than Gatorskins for rolling resistance. I only seem to puncture when I go out with my old school....so I expect to have one on Wednesday

Not tried the others yet......

But not long got back from riding London to Geneve with the Corsa's on...mmmm. They love the flat foreign tarmac, and cruised over the French D roads...
