700C winter tyres??

<< < (3/3)

John:
Move to a better climate - here in south west France 22mm conti tubs are quite adequate on dry, sun warmed traffic free roads. Winter starts at 1300m in the ski ressorts.

In my experience the best all-round tyre you can buy is the Michelin Pro Race (previously Michelin Axial Pro). They aren't cheap, £27 list, c£24 mail order, but even though they are slick they will grip as well as anything in the wet. They are virtually puncture proof without any puncture strip - it is purely quality of construction. They have  a low rolling resistance - you could use them to race on. They never seem to wear out - they don't even seem to get cut or nicked by whatever the road throws at them - I have had one puncture in 5 years riding in all conditions and only just had to replace them. Plus they come in avariety of colours so you can match them to your bike. OK I dont ride 10K a year but for reasonable use I've found nothing to touch them.
