widget Posted October 17, 2007 Share In my opinion ALL the big tyre brands are the same.I cant believe there is some highly secret, special compound that only one manufacturer knows about which makes their tyre any better than another, there are differant tyres for differant applications, sure - but that dosnt make one better or worse than another. Anyway theres no such thing as a puncture proof tyre (unfortunately) and how many punctures you get / got /will get is really dependant on the terrain you ride on, the weather conditions, tyre inflation, road surface, rim condition, etc and seldom has ANYTHING to do with the brand of tyre you are using. Everybody will advocate the particular tyre brand they use (thats human nature) because everybody likes to feel justified in their decision - but, in fact, thats a poor barometer of a product quality. Its exactly the same with most products YOU will ever buy - the best tyre is SIMPLY the one that suits YOU.! widget2007-10-17 05:46:02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niterider Posted October 18, 2007 Share Conti Ultrasports used to be good tyres. They used to have the thickest rubber in the range since they were also marketed as indoor trainer tyres. Then Conti brought out their yellow indoor tyre and changed the Ultrasport. It now has a lot less rubber, and although well priced, is not very puncture proof at all. IMHO, you can't go wrong with any of the top-end tyres: Conti GP4000, Schwalbe Ultremo, Michelin Prorace. I race and train on Kenda Kaliente's. Lightweight and very puncture proof.

no.one.knows Posted October 30, 2007 Share If you want really good tyres, they are a bit pricey though, get hutchinson long distance tyres. they have incredible grip and puncture resistance, i rode +- 4200km's on my last set, thats racing and training. fantastic tyres!!!
