    If he needs to pump 25s up to 110psi then I don't think he needs to worry about the tyres aerodynamics!

    Interesting that the tyres have 100-120 PSI on them. Id have thought you'd want them a lot lower than that.

    This. I also suspect he’d made his mind up well before trying them.

    I don't like to confess this but I'm really looking forward to the 27c tyres on my Equilibrium wearing out so I can try some 23c I've got raring to go.

    Wide tyres are so 2017....

    errr - why? if you want some 25mm zaffiros his are as good as any, he just wasn't all clubbie in his advert.

    i'd buy them off him as opposed to someone selling the same thing at thd same price just because he made the MFs chuckle.

    He’s completely missed the point. The bit about pressures made me :lol:. What a tool. Wider tyres = lower pressures = better comfort. He seems to have got that arse about face :roll:

    Vittoria don't seem to be fans of the lower pressure according to their specs.

    25c tyres are like SUVs - dependable, does the job, not too shabby - still think 28 is the way to go

    That's the fashion now. Not that long ago everyone had 23c and anything bigger was for audax/commuting/mtb or your bike wouldn't take them.

    SUV's totally unnecessary for British roads carrying one person from A to B.

    25/28mm tyres totally needed for transporting one person on British roads
