Seem like I need to replace the tyres on my winter bike.
Currently on 32mm Bonty Hardcase Lites that came with the bike.
I'm thinking of going tubeless at the same time.
Any recommendations for a tyre that's strong enough for the commute but also good for the less than perfect weather weekend rides, and is tubeless...
Thanks
JB
I have run Spesh Roubaix tyres to good effect in such situations
I’ve just put some Continental GP5000S TR 30mm on my bike and been out on the shitty roads with no issues so far. Really comfortable and fast. Easy to mount by hand and seated with a track pump and Reserve Fillmore valves . Big 👍 from me - jinxed them now though!!!🙄😂
Theres a more robust version if puncture resistance is more important than comfort. 4 Season it’s called but I haven’t ridden one so can’t offer a comparison.
GP5000S TR for me too. I’ve tried Corsas, Sectors and Pro Ones. They don’t hold a candle to to GP5KSTR (stupid name).
The TLR version of what is already fitted. Pretty solid and reliable.
Hutchinson Fusion 5 all seasons have been great for me.
GP5000 but for your use I'd look at the AS TR version.
All Season. A bit tougher. A bit better wet grip. 1-2 Watt trade off.
Money no object....gP5000 is the only answer for low rolling resistance, puncture protection and longevity. If anyone has a PSA I'm all ears
I use the 5000 ASTR, bit tougher than the standard 5000 STR but my favourite is Pirelli p zero TLR - it has a bit more ‘feel’ than the 5000’s. But if the bulk of your mileage is commuting you may want something even tougher and long lasting like a Cinturato Velo TLR
Gp5000 are ace/ trust conti!
Had the 5000 AS on all winter, been good so far…all the comfort of the regular version and no slipping on the greasy stuff
Strong enough for commute and riding on gravel roads I have found Hutchinson Challenger TR to be great. Not exactly light though but fast enough.
Challenge Criterium RS in 28mm
Soft, supple, fast and white side walls!!! Also won tyre of the year again with road.cc
Sworks Mondo. Been impressed with mine smashing them round warwickshire roads. No puncutres, no issues.
