What tyres do you use with these clinchers? I've used Michelin Pro-Race 2 for a while but they're pretty tricky to get on and off. I know some tyres seem to fit different wheels more easily - any recommendations for an easy tyre change?

(I ride sportives mainly).

Thanks

    If you find any though let me know as I have this problem too.

    Schwalbe Stelvio are really excellent tyres. I can get them on/off my Eurus wheels without levers

    IMHO the Schwalbe Ultremo are even better, and once you've used these you'll never go back to the Michelins

    I find the Vittoria Open Evo Corsa to be as good as any, but it is still a real struggle on Campy wheels. Don't even attempt to use the Conti GP3/4000

    They are good, but they do give with time-I like the Open Pave tyres, which are easy.

    I've found the Pro Race tyres pretty good on my Neutrons.
    If you think they're difficult, don't even think about any Continetal tyres.

    Get yourself a VAR lever from BikePlus or SJS Cycles - They're light enough that - I "don't leave home without it!" - Although I am a sucker for punishment, running GP4 seasons (and GP4000 25c with reflective sidewalls, and GP4000-S).
    Crank Bros do a Speed Lever, which is an alternative I haven't tried.
    I believe BikePlus supply instructions with their VAR tools sent out mail order.

    Finally, an item of French engineering I actually want to own :lol:
