Road bike tire choice for Ultegra wheelset?
Quote | Reply
I'm looking for new tires for new wheels for my road bike (Ultegra 6800).
Bike riding will be mostly solo rides at medium pace and a few casual club rides with the odd spirited sprint.
These wheels are tubeless compatible - which would be new to me - should I go that route - or tube and tire?
And if so what width / pressure (rider weight = 165 pounds, road condition = pretty good asphalt).

Thanks
Phil

Are you looking for a fast tire? Or one that is more puncture resistant?

Is that the trade-off? The local roads are pretty good. If I had to prioritize needs, I guess it would be speed, comfort, puncture-resistance, ease-of-changing a flat.

Can't go wrong with that tire choice.
