Newbe tyre question

XJR-Joe

Ok, having read a few posts relating to tyres and getting mixed results. I have a question.

I'm after a good set of summer tyres for a sportive or 2. looking at
Conti 4000
Schwalbe Ultremo R 1 orZX
Mich Pro race 3

I have run Conti sport contacts on my hibrids but found the sidewals perish easily, so a bit put off.

What would you recomend?
Bike is a Trek2.3

If rider weight is a factor, i'm 100kg heading for 88 ( i was 137)

Its a very personal thing, everyone has a favourite, and will recommend that.

I've used a few different ones, and, as a great allrounder, the Conti GP4000S ticks all the boxes for me.

I'm using Conti Grand Prix 24mm folding tyres. Quick to get up to speed but marginally more comfy than the stock Conti Ultra Race's 23mm they replaced. Probably a placebo effect but they work for me and nothing in the way of punctures (until I wrote that anyway!) :?
