Anyone running this combo? CRC have got these tyres at a seemingly good price, and they have a good rep as a longterm winter tyre. I'm now running my Boardman Road Team (2009 alu frame model) as a winter bike but wondered if anyone was successfully running the 25c version of the Michelin Krylion Carbon on this bike as clearances seem as if they may be a little tight?

cheers

    I have the same bike and thinking of doing the same. So let me know how you get on!. TBH - I think that's there's going to be enough room. I'm running 23c Krylions at the mo'

    Cool. I'll give it a go. Only real thing that narks is the fact that most after market mudguards (SKS Race blades, Race blade Longs + Crud Racers) seem to suggest a max tyre size of 23c, whereas the considered wisdom on this forum seems to be that 25c is a better tyre width for general riding, and certainly doing winter miles. Hopefully with some jiggery pokery I may get the two to work together!

    I ran Crud racers the previous winter and they are tight with the Krylion 23c, I doubt they'd fit with the 25c to be honest.

    I think I'll get a pair of 25c ordered too...
