Which tyres for me?
Quote | Reply
Sorry I know tyres have been done to death and I have used the search but I am confused. I am planning on doing some oly distance races and hoping for some big PBs. I want to get the fastest tyres I can. I have had a bike fit and my position is good. I just want to get the kit sorted.

I have a NP3 with Enve 6.7 SES tubular wheels. If it makes a difference I am a large rider. Current 210lbs, going to reduce that a bit but at 6'5'' I am probably unlikely to get below 200.

Not too concerned about puncture resistance. The roads I'll be racing on are pretty good and as I will be doing a few races if I get a puncture and dont get a good time I can just move on the next race.

Fwiw, if you want the fastest tires I would seriously consider dumping the tubulars for clinchers. The Corsa Speed does come in both a tubular version and clincher versions and is a very safe bet for speed.

The OP already has a set of fast tubular wheels, so it would make more sense to me to stick with the tubular version. Isn't the second link you provided actually points to the "tubeless" version? Can the tubeless version be used as clincher?

There should be nothing to be confused about. Just bookmark this site and look at all the tires under "Road Bike Rolling Resistance Reviews" on the right column: https://www.bicyclerollingresistance.com/

This site is also good but doesn't include the Corsa Speed yet: https://www.cyclingpowerlab.com/TyreSelection.aspx
