We can talk about budget tyres!

[Ming the Merciless]

Always use budget tyres when staying in budget hotels

 

[GrumpyGregry]

can we talk about the size of the budget first or are we talking cheap tyres?

 

[numbnuts]

This is all very tiring

 

[Spinney]

It's certainly going round and round.

Considering what my Kinesis cost to build, it's never had a set of expensive tyres on it (not counting my Ice Spiker Pros).

I use Halo Twin Rail II for on road and light/dry XC - which were cheap (when I bought them)

and for off road I use GEAX Barro Mountain, which I only paid £9 each for in a CRC sale

They do the job too

Cheap/budget are good for sliding.....

The ones that poor people buy.

Now I'm a poor pensioner, but I don't skimp on rubber.

I use Vittoria Randonneur 700x28 Puncture Protection Road Bike Tyre at £13 each from Decathlon, no punctures in 3 years.

Great for slow old blokes on old bikes.

These look good too, a Marathon+ copy, but I've not tried them, because they're 35mm width.

Newer 28c Vittoria Randonneur tyres don't seem to last as long as the older 25c tyres and their max PSI is only 75.

The old 25c tyre had a min PSI of 100 and a max PSI of 130. This might indicate a stronger tyre and a reason for their greater longevity.

I might buy some for my winter bike!
