Comments

  • GP4000's Continental
    Pro4 Michelin

    If you're not too worried about feel and comfort then the Continental GP4000S is a good all round tyre.

    For better feel and arguably lower rolling resistance go for the Schwalbe Ultremo ZX.

    For the best feel, comfort, good low rolling resistance go for the Veloflex Corsa with some latex tubes....lovely set up. Bit of a b!tch to mount first time but worth it imho.

    Michelin Pro4 Service Course are pretty nice too.

    I would go in this order....Veloflex , Ultremo , Michelin , Conti.
  • thank you, i have seen really good comments for the ultremo zx, not a fan for conti's so might go down the ultremo or michelin route thanks guys :)
