Hi. Very silly question, but when you buy tyres from wiggle / chainreaction cycles do you get one or two?

I've seen these tyres, look good but can't work out if its for 1 or 2 tyres.

    it's for one tyre. If that was the price for two, I would buy their entire stock....

    Ok. So whats the best slick clincher tyre out there? No more than £50 for 2.

    General riding but with a racey feel.

    my own preference is Continental GPs in 700x24..

    I've been running these for a year or so with no issues - fast, light and grip well. You will get loads of other suggestions though....

    Vitorua Rubino pro in either standard trim or slick.
    Good hard wearing tyres at a good price.
    Good puncture resistance too.

    Ja you can't really go wrong with the £30 odd per tyre clinchers.

    Conti GP400s, Michelan Pro Race 3s, Vittoria Rubinos, etc.

    Pro Race 3's awesome , they perhaps only last 1200 - 2000 miles - but the difference is staggering.

    +1 for the Michelin's

    Ref the Michelin pro 3.......sorry for the silly, perhaps obvious question.

    There are 2 blues available for these tyres.

    a dark blue

    and a digital blue.

    To save time before ordering, is it safe to assume the digital blue is the brighter, lighter blue of the 2.
    cheers
