tyres for Specialized Turbo Tero

[Helen D]

I have got the supplied Ground Control tyres on my bike but find them really noisy on roads so id like to fit a more hybrid tyre. Ive seen a Shwalbe tyre that is smother in the centre and nobly on outside but can't remember what its called.
Anybody got any advice?
Thanks in advance

You could have a look at Schwalbe’s Tour & City range and see if anything appeals: https://www.schwalbe.com/en/bike-tires/tour-city/

Their ‘Marathon’ range, for example, is well respected and has a variety of models of different knobbliness but generally with a smoother centre strip suited to tarmac.

You’ll need to check the size Of your wheels. I think yours are 29”, so there should be a code somewhere on the tyres that looks like 55-622. You need to match the second number (diameter) exactly but have a little leeway on the first (width).

Schwalbe Land Cruisers work well on road and off. Still good tread for mud and gravel, but smooth centre section helps on road. Not the fastest of tyres though. I commute on mine.

If it has 29" wheels, you can also look at 700 tyres besides the 29" tyre models.

How much offroad do you do on the Tero?

If as good as nothing and when you do it's very light, you could simply fit some nice performance road tyres, making sure they are wide enough for the inner rim width of your wheels.
For example, you can now get some Continental GP5000 variants in 35mm and IIRC Pirelli P Zero now do a 40mm variant.

The price range for mixed terrain tyres can vary massively, you could do some 35/40mm Schwalbe Land Cruisers for under £20 per tyre, or spend ~£50 on one Schwalbe G-One Overland!

I've heard good things about the Continental mixed terrain tyres like the Terra models, but yet to try them.

I've got Marathon Supremes (35/40mm) on my gravel which are good for light mixed use, plus a 38mm Marathon Cross on my hybrid that's great for mixed use, but neither model is current these days.

Thanks for the reply - I think it was the Marathons I'd been looking at. The off-road that I do is mainly on single tracks - only do major mountain biking occasionally .

Hi thanks for that. The terror has a mullet set up of 29/27" so would have to find both.
