Tyre choice?

[Peugeotrider]

What size,make is everyone using for just leisure,training purposes?

 

[vickster]

What size tyres does your bike take?
I think I have different tyres on each bike and a mix of sizes 23-25-28.
If I just wanted a reasonably priced all purpose tyre, a Vittoria Rubino

Commuting/touring bike - Durano Plus 23's
Leisure bike - Victoria Rubino 25's

But as someone else said. You're going to get many different answers.

Swalbe marathons.

I've two bikes,one with Vitoria 700/23 which I hate,the other kenda kwest 700/25 which are brill.
Surely 2 mm can't change how a bike feels?

If you’re talking about your pug you’re probably not going to be able to fit anything wider than 25c or possibly 28.
Im using Schwalbe Marathons and Conti Tour Rides, both pretty bulletproof if that’s what you want or GP 5000s are popular. Lighter might be a bit faster, it’s down to you but maybe less puncture resistance.

I predict a riot.

Mine, assuming clinchers with tubes: The mighty Durano Plus.

Yes that will open the CC floodgates on this saturday morn.

Pugs running 25 kwests and they are ace.
It's my Raleigh that's on 23s and they just feel awful.
Considering when I raced in the late 80s I think it was possibly 22s then...I feel very wobbly on the Raleigh while the pug feels well planted on the road.
Descended a hill at 55 kph last week on the Raleigh and tbh...thought I was gonna end up with gravel rash

Schwalbe Marathon Plus on my pub hybrid bike, I think they're a 25, then 35mm Schwalbe Mondial on the touring bike.

 

[Mo1959]

Various sizes of either Vittoria Rubino Pro or Schwalbe Ones on the road bikes. Both have proven reliable.

 

[HarryTheDog]

Michelin Power Endurance 25mm.

Been riding 32c Gatorskins for last 2 years on gravel bike, bloody hell they cope with some really nasty stuff without a wimper
