Replacing road tyres

[Lou Zealand]

How much distance should one get on a pair of road tyres?

 

Any recommendations for a specific brand or model or are they all pretty much the same for a weekend warrior type?

The weight of the rider and the type of tyre all effect its life span, but you can get 4000-6000km on a set of good tyres.

 

For a weekend warrior, you can't go wrong with Conti Gatorskins.

I have punctured far less on the basic Serfas as compared to the Gatorskin, just as durable and far cheaper, great for training...
