Hi,
Going touring on my Trek Hybrid.
Currently has Bontrager 700x35 tyres.
Looking for something a little faster but still good puncture protection.

700x32?
700x28?

Vittoria Randonneur?
Conti Gatorskin?

Thanks,
Josh

    I tour on 700c x 28 Panaracer Paselas. I wasn't impresses with Gatorskins - too many punctures.

    Thanks,

    You put your reply inside the quote.

    I had to read it about 5 times and look at josh's post to see what was the difference

    Got it now

    you posted a reply of.....

    <b>I tour on 700c x 28 Panaracer Paselas. I wasn't impresses with Gatorskins - too many punctures.</b>

    It's early and I'm easily confused

    i have 700x35 armadillos on my hybrid and they are brilliant. one puncture in about 800 miles and that was becasue the tyres had not been pumpd up enough. If they had them in the sizes you mentioned i'd go for them.
