Trying to figure out which tires to put on my a new wheel set. I’ve narrowed it down to the following (I want gumwalls for aesthetic reasons):
Specialized TC 28mm Hell of the North
Vittoria Corsa Control G+ 28mm
Challenge Paris Roubaix 27mm
Anyone have experience with any or all of these? Primarily concerned with puncture protection and suppleness/feel, rather than rolling resistance.
I have experience with all three brands: I run the TC 24 and 26 on my race wheels, have used the Regular Corsa G+ 28 in the past, and use the Challenge Grifo for cross.
One more thing: the new wheels are the very wide HED Ardennes Black, and my frame is an Allez Sprint with eeBrakes. Does anyone foresee clearance issues with any of the above options?
