Morning,
Don't need any tyres just yet, my Schwalbe Luganos, although only budget range that came with my bike are performing very well I think, have covered nearly 800 miles with one visit from the p******* fairy, there are a few little splits in the rubber where stones have obviously attempted to pierce my tyre and ruin my day, but they are nowhere near worn. They are 23c tyres which I really like, however I am wondering if for what I want to do later on whether they are going to be suitable.
My riding comprises a few leisurely 30ish mile rides a week, with a 60 mile club run every sunday, interspersed by 1 or 2 audaxes a month. Only 100k's at the mo, but lining up my first 200k next month. I am not all about speed, I average about 16-18mph on a ride. My bike is full carbon and 105, so is quite light and myself am only about 10 stone.
I am aiming to do the Exmouth Exodus nightride in August and their site recommends at least 25c tyres for the more uneven surfaces. Is there a noticeable difference in ride, comfort, puncture resistance over 23c tyres? Or is it more in the mind and all marketing spiel?
Many thanks.
Jon.
