    how long do they last as i have had some gators on my other bike and they didnt last long maybe 1000 miles but not even sure if they did that.

    Anything as long as its 25mm to give a slightly bigger contact patch. Treaded or slick makes no difference due to the size of bike tyres; treaded 'wet weather' tyres are a gimmick. Tougher compounds built for longevity can sometimes be a bit skittish, the gatorskin has this rep too. The usual BR recommendations are all fine in the wet, I plumped for some Pro4 Endurance for this winter.

    so if i understand what your saying it dont really matter on tred that much but go for slightly softer compound?
    it would be for 25mm any way
    was wondering if Michelin are any good never used them before.

    I run 25mm Conti 4 Seasons. Excellent puncture protection, excellent grip in the cold / wet, got 4000 miles out of the rear and 5000 out of the front.

    They seem expensive at first but they do last well.
