I'm soon to be collecting a Trek 2.3 as my first road bike. I've been reading through many threads on here with interest and obviously any information to do with the Trek 2.3.

It comes fitted with Bontrager AW tyres. There was a thread recently where someone was complaining they were forever puncturing. My brother also has a Trek 1.5 which had these tyres fitted. I say had as he changed them to Bontrager lite race due to getting punctures all of the time.

The internet is good for information but I know you tend to hear more of the bad stuff on here than the good stuff. The LBS I'm getting the bike from said they haven't had anyone complaining about these tyres as of yet.

So have you had these tyres and how many, if any, punctures did you get whilst using them?

Trying to guage whether to have a set of Continental GP4000s sat here ready to fit for when I pick the bike up :lol: Any input would be greatly appreciate, GOOD and bad!

    I've got em in 25mm guise, picked up a puncture on my maiden voyage, have done 300 miles since without a problem. Planning to upgrade when they're done, but at the moment they seem fine.
