Anyone seen any good deals on decent 700x23 folder tyres recently? Something fast yet puncture proof.I had Michelin krylions but they finally wore out.they were fantastic, in 2 years I had about 2 punctures.I switched to some schwalbe stelvio light and they are RUBBISH.I've had about 5 punctures in less than a month...so I'm just wondering if anyone's seen any decent tyres going cheap...I'm not bothered what brand etc as long as they're half decent and fairly p proof

    I've been very impressed with the Vittoria Rubino Pros that came with the Volagi - 1500 miles and not a single flat. I put 4000Ss on for the Etape Caledonia - in the following week I got 2 flats and I couldn't detect any speed difference (whereas the 4000S are quicker than the Gatorskin). Rubinos are back on and going strong (hit 47mph on them this morning). Rubinos are great value too.

    On the Kingston wheelers club ride I was just on, I counted 9 bikes, 8 of which had GP4000s...

    I know the popular tyres it's more actual retailers doing special offers that I'm interested in...

    Deleted an email, but I think it was from Ribble; buy 2 Pro 4 Endurance (Krylion replacement) get 2 Lithiums free. Might suit.

    Well Rubino Pros are 40% off at Wiggle (under £12 each) and score 4.6/5 from 160 ratings - sounds like great value to me...

    I got a pair of your favourite Krillions on Parker int'l - cheap too. They may still have some. Mine were the 'Carbon' Krillions, with the grey stripe - excellent tyre for a winter bike/commute/training thingy

    I'm still trying to wear out my krylions so I can then try some pro race 4 endurances, the back is squaring off a bit but still feels fine
