TNT1 Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 My car came with Michelin's on (well naturally - French and all) I love them. One day when they need replacing, I'll look at Conti Runflats. Oh... sorry, bicycles... doh!

HomerSimpson Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 It's your Avatar that is causing the distraction....
TNT1 Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 That's what you think... you should taste these things
Wheelsuck Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 Schwalbe Blizzard, Conti's sidewall is suspect
ZippIt Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 michelin pro race - expensive but probably the best all round tyre in terms of training and racing on. also very easy to install/stretch over rim. super in wet condtions too. punctures very rare. grip is extremely good and you can get more milage than gator skins out of them!! they also come in pretty colours to match your styleZippIt2006-10-13 04:34:04
ZippIt Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 in terms of tubbies - conti competitionZippIt2006-10-13 04:35:03
TNT1 Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 Vittoria Open Corsa EVO KS for racing and Specialized Armadillo for training
Gumpole Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 Make sure they are folded tyres (no steel beading). I cant recommend the GP4000 as I have used 2 sets of them on 2 different bikes in the last 14 months...... and not had a puncture yet! tempting fate i guess, got one this week, rear wheel of course
widget Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 Michelin Pro Race or if you want the cheaper version the Michelin Pro Graphite - frankly I have used both for ages and cant tell the differance - except in my wallet that is.!!! .............Concur with Gumpole - stick to the folded tyres.
Psycho Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 Conti 4 Seasons, I don't think anything beats Conti for grip, done Tour de Lesotho and banking through those corners on the decends, no problem. However, they don't give to many k's, also on the old 3000 you had the sepperation problem on the two colour ones, not sure if they sorted the problem on the 4000. On the Tandem we used Mich. Pro Race, and got good k's on them, grip also not too bad.
IvenS Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 Does anyone use Vittoria tyres, more specifically the Robino Pro's? Any views on these tyres.
FanieFiets Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 Maxxis gives best value for money and the foldables dont even need a tyre lever. Force/Attack is cracking.......and had a blow=out with 4000 (probably not their fault).
