looking at Schwalbe Durano Plus

You certainly can fit 32c or 28c on the trek. I am currently sporting 23c on my sirrus hybrid.

Conti 4000s, it was announced at a recent cycle show conti are launching a 28mm version.

Folding are usually lighter and preferred.

• Continental Sport Contact City Road Bike Tyre.............28c or 32c

NOW £17.99...........................not a bad price level.! Wire bead 70-85psi

Thats the one although the 28s look more like 25 no idea why, and they are tough to get on and off but i still think they are great tyre.

looking at Schwalbe Durano Plus

Durano Plus are my winter tyres. Conti Gatorskins for summer. But everyone has their favourites.

Shwalbe Ultremo 28's on my summer wheels.

I'll probably get funny looks for suggesting Vittoria, but that's what I was riding last Summer.

Not from me, Vittoria Rubino's all year round in all weathers with very few problems/punctures.
