… a road bike

Just joined the darkside and need some new but cheap tyres. Max 25s so I can get some Crud Roadracers on, not bothered if wire bead, but I don’t want to spend a lot.
Must be able to cope with the wet, badly surfaced roads of the North Pennines and Northumberland. But on the flip side, I don’t want to feel like I’m dragging a dead weight (other than my own fat @ss).

Any suggestions?

no-one?

Conti GP 4 Seasons, cheap on Rose Bikes.

I’m using these LINK

– grip had been fine, though not as good as the Grand Prixs, however for half the price they are what I use for milage and decent grip on mine. I used them in crit races and for training/commuting, only ever noticed a disadvantage in the wet crits. No punctures so far (2000 miles).

Can’t find the GP4 on Rose Bikes. Must have been a good price!

Ultrasport does seem good value…
