What's your budget? And what are the tyres for? (Just training? Commuting? Racing? All Round?)

Budget?


A few good ones to consider:

Michelin Pro Race 3
Conti GP4000
Vittoria Corsa Evo CX


A lot of people swear by the first 2 for good training/racing tyres

Schwalbe stelvio's from Planet x. cheap very very reliable and excellent puncture protection.

The only reason mine punctured was due to my brake block being misaligned and eating through the sidewall :oops:

Thats after over a year hard commuting and bad weather riding.

GP4000S (important that they're the S ones), Michelin Pro 3 race, Vredestein Fortezza Tricomp and Vittoria Rubino Pro's are held in a very high esteem.

They'll be my tire of choice for doing The Tour of Flanders. They really are excellent
