ROAD BIKE GENERAL USE TYRE ADVICE?
Posted: June 12th, 2016, 3:01 am
Hi. Just about to take the plunge and buy my first road bike that I've been going on about for ages.
What I'm looking for is the best compromise between speed, puncture resistance, and comfort, for general riding. The bike I'm looking at comes with pair of 25c Continental Ultra Sport IIs, with the option of a pair of 25c GatorSkins for an extra £39.99.
I've been looking online and I can get a pair of Continental Grand Prix 4000 S IIs for £59.99 which seems like a good deal, and not that much more than I'd be paying for the GatorSkins.
What I was thinking was I that would get the bike with the stock tyres, and then change them for the 4000 S IIs. Thoughts?
