What are the mavic tyres that come on the aksium wts wheels like?
The Aksium tyres are Yksion Comp, I think#. I ride the more expensive Yksion Pros in 23 and 25c. I like the Pros, supple, smooth and grippy. Made by Vittoria or Michelin. Unlike Schwalbe, they come up pretty narrow, with a definite “U” profile – the Ones have much more of a tubular “O” profile. I have not found the Mavics prone to punctures and I have raced them. Just testing some 25c’s for longer distance rides on CXP33s. Unlike others, I rather like them in the rain. They are £10/end cheaper than the Ones, but don’t feel it.
Other tyres in the TiRed stable are Ultremo ZXs, lovely but Ones are nicer, Lugano (off the CAAD8), Durano Plus and Marathon Plus
#I do have a Comp 23c as a spare bought cheap. It has no sipes, and is not as supple, being a harder material.
