What's a good training/racing tire???
Quote | Reply
I only have one set of wheels and I was wondering what tire brand and model would be a good choice. I ride a Cervelo Dual with Easton Vista wheels. I'm looking for a durable, light, and fast tire. I'de prefer it to be more light, than heavy duty. Any tips or suggestions would be really helpful.
Thanks,
Noah

Michelin pro 2 race are very low in rolling resistance and fairly puncture resistant. They lso make the ironman version which has slightly higher rolling resistance, but probably more puncture resistamce.

I have no idea how light, and fast the Conti GP 4000 are but I think I may have gotten only one flat since I got them (about 4000K ago if my memory serves me correctly..

Cheers,
Fred.

I have Pro2s on my road bike. I have not had any @#%*!!!! They are quite comfy and grippy.
Very low RR, from what I have seen.

At risk of upsetting the apple cart, Michelin Krylion Carbons are fantastic training tyres. I used their predecessor (Axial Carbons) for several years. They are very similar to the ProRace2's, but they have a much longer lasting tread.

I guess it's time for my bi-weekly post for Michelin Pro2Race and where to buy 'em:

www.probikekit.com

$28 a pop, alas shipping is no longer free, it's $10.
(so buy a bunch and be set for a season or 2)

OOOOH - I just checked, FREE SHIPPING IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!

I seem to get a few grand miles outta 'em, so for $28 a throw, I'll ride the good stuff all the time.

And with free shipping again, mebbe I should order up a few more, to have, see? ;-)
