Continental Ultrasport OK for winter commuting?

[3narf]

£25 a pair on ebay at the moment!

Are they suitable for winter commuting? Bear in mind I currently use Hutchinson Equinox tyres which I've had no problems with, they're just worn out.

Thx

Dog doo-doo, imho.

Really good if you want puncture fixing practice,

25 a pair? Get some rubinos from CRC for 9 quid each.

 

[dan_bo]

IMO.

 

[3narf]

Oh, OK! Thanks all.

What about Schwalbe Luganos at £27 a pair?

 

[dan_bo]

Did I mention CRC are doing Rubinos at 9 quid each?

These came as stock on one of my bikes, a summer bike and i am looking to replace with something better any recommendations for summer tyres apart from scwable ultremo`s which i did buy but never fitted as they just looked too thin ?

Rubino Pro's are pretty good also.

Michelin Pro 4 Service Course, Ultremos or GP4000s would be my 3 choices for Summer tyres

I also quite like Bontranger Race Lite's - pretty good for the £

I've replaced my ultra sports with gatorskins. Much better for winter.

+1 for GP4000S. Ultrasports a bit lightweight for winter roads. Gatoroskins better but heavy - GP4000s are grippy, wear well and are very light.

I run gators on my commuter/ winter bike anyway , i like the sound of the gp4000`s
