Hi i know this has been asked loads in the past but after a few visits from the fairy i think it may be time for some new tyres what do you all suggest around 1.5 upwards?, for year round every day commuting.
THANKS.

    Just looking for some winter tyres myself, these might come in handy http://www.schwalbe.co.uk/c2-1217-marathon-winter.html

    Rule #9 // If you are out riding in bad weather, it means you are a badass. Period.
    Rule #12 // The correct number of bikes to own is n+1.
    Rule #42 // A bike race shall never be preceded with a swim and/or followed by a run.

    Conti Double Fighter, so you can do a bit of off-roading on the way home. I do!

    I have scwable city jets on my hybrid and for the price i cannot fault them they may bot be as bomb proof as the marathons but for around a tenner each they are great .

    I have only had 1 puncture in a year of commuting and that was a real nasty piece of wire .

    I punctured my schwalbe marathon pluses. Had to dig a big piece of glass out of the front tyre last week. It went right through the blue stuff. Do I get some sort of prize?

    another +1 for SMP never had a problem with them, II bought them from spa cycles £41 delivered for a pair. http://www.spacycles.co.uk/products.php ... _-_Touring

    Although I have upgraded to schwalbe marathon supreme as they roll just that bit faster, I would also recommend these.
