Tire comparison confusion
Quote | Reply
I think my Continental TTs are due for replacement. They have been brilliant with latex tubes and orange seal. On bicycle rolling resistance I am comparing the Conti 5000 (with latex), 5000 TL with the TTs (butyl tube). The TTs perform poorly in comparison. Does anyone now how they compare with latex tubes? If it is 1.5-2.5W as they suggest it puts them in the same region as the 5000s but with worse puncture resistance. Do I understand this correctly? There seems to be no reason to go with the TT anymore. Thanks!

Thanks so much. I was going cross eyed looking through articles. I hadn’t seen that one - it was just what I was looking for.

Thanks. It was. I think I am going to go with a 25/23 GP5000 combo with latex tubes. There are some good deals at the moment!
