what tyres should I go for?

[TheGlasgowCyclist]

Hey guys,

I am due 2 new tyres for my road bike, my bikes a carrera virtuoso 2012 limited addition.
As im relatively new to road bikes im looking for a bit of advice on which tyres to use,
I use my bike for commuting and leisure, I also cycling in all kinds of weather so would like the tyres to grip the road.
Its also worth saying that im from glasgow so the roads are beond crap so need tyres that are up the the test!

It says on my tyres (23-622) 700 × 23c..

I am going to be made redundant soon so im really looking for a well priced and sturdy tyres.

Many thanks

Bloody good tyres to boot.

Cheers mate!
They look quite smart aswell!

My local bike shop was saying they would order me them in but thought they might cost me around 45 pound each tyre...

+1. Durano Plus folders on my road bikes, zero bother in many, many, many miles.

I use them on a 35 mile daily commute on the mean streets of London......that's why I recommend them. Survive the streets of London, they will survive anywhere.

Spa will get them to you in a couple of days. Give them a call. They are very helpful.
Have no idea about Halfords.

sounds like you need an all rounder, the schwalbe marathon has always lived up to its name, has a very low rolling resistance, great in all weathers and lasts for alot of miles. you can get them in alot of sizes and they are as puncture proof as you can get. imho, worth the initial outlay. Shop around, theres usually a bargain to be had somewhere !

Another thumbs up for Durano Plus. 3500 miles and still going strong. Often cycle on sections of road that is very rough and broken without problem.

Durano Plus way to go...tough, hardwearing, decent grip and from linky cheap! No brainer!

Durano+ here too, though the folding version and not one with 'London' on the side
