Sometimes there are THOSE tyres.

 

Being allergic to latex I don't have those issues... I have minions to change my tyres, pump them up and ensure they are just to my liking (and save me from a trip to hospital!).

Holy rolling resistance, Batman!

 

My LBS put a set of Nobby Nics on for me and the front one was backwards. I rode it a few times and actually reckon it felt better than the very average traction you get from those things the right way around! I kept them like that until I kick them to the curb for being just horrible things anyway. It was quite like dragging an anchor though.

Oh those bloody Nobby Nicks, you can get a voodoo priest to bleed freshly killed chicken over them on a full moon night and they will still be as slippery as earthworm snot.

what would be a decent alternative? With a good mix of traction and grip?
