Tyres

[Stormbringer]

Any advise on a good tyre ?

Road, MTB, hybrid, other????

Failing that black and round should do it

Good for what?

I didn't ask questions like this even when I was a newb.

Please advise what kind of bike you have and where you ride, and what qualities you would like in a tire. Its a tradeoff between longevity, grip, puncture and rolling resistance, cost etc.

My bikes have conti gatorskin for the commuter, schwalbe marathon supreme for super toughness, and magic aksions that came with my latest bike but I habengp4000 s2 ready to put on.

But yes to the OP, all the above

All of my tyres are pleasingly round, and fit nicely on the wheels. I can recommend them.

I'm using a carbon race style road bike with Shimano alloy rims all year round so was thinking a tyre with good wet grip for those wet/damp days and decent life/ puncher resistance .

Thanks

If you have a half decent bike you should worry about tyres, not just get the cheapest, they make a big difference.

Pair of these in red, bargain at £20 each . Good mix of performance and puncture protection

Hi, I have a tyre related question, I have two road bikes, a Merida Race Lite which I use as my 2nd bike and a Cube Agree GTC.
The Merida which have 700x25c tyres I have no problems taking the tyres off without using tyre levers when I get a puncture but the Cube is a right nightmare, got Mavic Aksion tyres which are
700x23c. Would changing the tyres to 700x25c make them any easier to get on and off?
