Recommend me a rear tyre

[fanievb]

I've been running Conti's (race king) for a few years now, but the last two has let me down spectacularly.

 

Both times the side wall failed. At R 800 to a R 1000 a pop (pun intended) I've got no further interest in using conti's.

 

So I'm in the market for a new brand. (I've had Schwalbe before and was not impressed)

 

I do mainly marathon type riding so longevity and rolling resistance trumps grip. But the tyre should allow for occasional rough stuff.

 

Thanks

For your application you need a Maxxis Crossmark

 

That is all 

[Rock Guy]

Yup, Crossmark.

Specialized Fast Trak (Control casing)

Maxxis Ardent Race 3C/EXO/TR. 'Nuff said.

I am currently riding the Vittoria and am very happy

Personally I find Crossmark too heavy - but they are mostly bullet proof.

 

You need to find your sweet spot in terms of durability vs weight

Spez GC Grid front and FastTrack Grid rear. Grippy, quick and cheaper than most decent alternatives

Onza Canis u have to!

In my experience I would go for a Maxxis Crossmark or Onza Canis.

Specialized Fast Trak (Control casing)

Why not the Grid casing? According to the website its only 30g heavier than the Control, weighing in at 650g.

Maxxis CrossMark is the best all rounder!

Seriously?

Seriously?

Yes, grip is required up front not at the rear. All 90kg of me ensures sufficient grip at the rear ????

 

Don't need a serious/aggressive tyre at the rear which will be eaten up by tar roads.

 

I need to cycle at least 14km tar everytime I go for a ride, Gonubie has only one way in and out.
