They cost twice as much as ordinary road racing tyres because triathletes are prepared to spend twice as much as anyone else on whatever they've read about in a magazine this month.

At the first sign of a corner, they fall over.

Same as TT tyres? Wasn't someone making gold ball tyers which has a supposed aerodynamic advantage?

Didn't even know there were tri-specific tyres?!

Normal road tyres seem to work fine.

They don't just work well for cycling, but also work a treat underwater and when running.
