tyres

Which tyre do you prefer and why? Which one would you recommend personally?

Can anyone recommend a good set of winter tyres. Want to upgrade so that I try to keep the punctures down

Almost ready for new tyres on the Genesis Day One. Mostly road but also canal paths, dirt tracks. 700x35 Continental Sport contact II on at moment. They where originals with bike and replaced like for like when worn out. This time may try something different. Recommendations please :rolleyes:

Just wanted to put a review up, I just changed from 28c to 32c gp5000 tyres. I have only done to short trips on them so far but seem really positive. I took about 15psi out of what I was running the 28s at but may try losing another 5psi and see how that goes. The ride seems a lot smoother and...

I've just got back from my first curtailed (snapped gear cable) MTB ride for a while. I'm in Northwest England with lots of moorland tracks paths. It seems the landscape has got a bit soft and squishy in the time i've been away and my 2× Rocket Rob Tyres which are increasingly worn...

Need to replace two front tyres on my Ford Fiesta, looking at Yokohama BluEarth as they are on offer. Any thoughts or expriences appreciated (replacing a set of continental premium contact2).

Selling some bits I won't be using anytime soon. Pair of VIttoria Corsa g Isotech tyres, 28mm less than 300 miles, no cuts whatsoever but some staining mainly where the bead fits under the rim £35 pair posted RItchey 90mm WCS 220 stem, very good condition slight mark underneath from a cable...

Hey guys can anyone tell me if it's possible/ok to fit 35-42c tube in 30/32c Tyre? And what are the negatives?

Tubes I want to buy are either 28-35 or 35-45. Im guessing its the smaller one. Is that right?

Hi there I want to put some winter tyres on my bike and have the following spare pairs of tyres in the house (not including the one round my middle!). What ones would be best for putting on the bike for winter riding: Continental Ultrasport Continental Grandsport Race Schwalbe Durano Are any...

Really couldn't get on with the skinny tires, so changed them over to some wider ones, deffo feels better on the slight off-road ride, looks better as well ... :becool:

Talking of winter tyres, is anybody aware of studded tyres that come in 28mm widths? I've googled, but they all seem to be in much wider tyres and my Ribble winter/audax frame, just takes 28mm tyres. As a victim to black ice a couple of years ago, it would increase my confidence a tad when the...

I’ve always used Conti Gatorskins year round, great puncture protection but others suggest not great in the wet? I’ve not had that experience but don’t push my luck around corners on wet roads. My friend has just asked for winter/wet weather tyre recommendations for his wife’s Cube Agree, I’m a...

Anyone run the above on their gravel/CX bike ? Currently running Gravel Kings which to be honest are fine as tubeless. But might swap to something else when these wear out , Plus the terrano look good in the grey and black :-):laugh:

I bought these for a build that went in a different direction. 2 26 x 1 3/8 Schwalbe Delta Cruiser tyres with white/tan sidewalls. Please note these are ISO 37x590 or 650 x 35a, NOT the usual 26" mountain bike tyres. Please check these are what you need. They are still in their packaging as...

I am looking to max out the tyre width for my Cannondale Topstone. It currently has the stock WTB Riddler 37cs with plenty of room. I'm also aware that Cannondale Topstone have an advertised max tyre width of 40c though they also say that this has loads of additional clearance. But I am always...

These came on a bike I recently bought, so unsure of mileage they have covered, but they look in excellent condition, with minimal use, they were just too big to fit with mudguards :sad: Looking for £20 posted

Someone's preparing early!!!

Long story short, after a couple of years off the bike, and several years not riding mtb I treated myself to a nice little hard tail a few months back. Back along several years, the OEM tyres on bikes used to be a bit poo, plus I wanted something a bit quick whilst I built a bit of bike...

Hi there. One of my friends has acquired a bike and has to buy new tyres. What size of tyres/tubes should he buy? I'm a road cyclist so I don't know! The information from the wall of the tyres: 26 x 1.75 and 26 x 1.95 I don't have any pics - sorry! Thanks in advance

My Spa Ti Audax runs on Rigida Chrina 36h rims / Sapim spokes and Schwalbe Durano 700c x 25 tyres with Shimano 105 hubs. The wheelset weighs in at around 1700 gms front + rear. I use the bike for fast touring - toolkit but no heavy luggage - so a total load of ~75-80kg. I’m looking for...

My wife is looking at getting new tyres for her e-bike for winter as her current tyres aren't particularly grippy in the wet. Should I be looking at e-bike specific tyres for her or can I just point her in the direction of an appropriate sized tyre with good grip and puncture protection?

I have decided to change my winter bike (2010 Defy 1) for a gravel bike. I cycle circa 300 miles a month and being the wrong side of 70, speed is now of no relevance. Whilst all my cycling is on ‘tarmac’ it is primarily on country lanes, wherein the quality of road surface is often dreadful...

Just thought I'd throw this up here as it may be of use to some. I've read reviews of Mondial tyres having weak sidewalls and my experience confirms this. The pictures attached are of a tyre removed yesterday. There's a distinct pattern of wear on both sides of the sidewall, although it's...

My ribble CGR came with 28mm ultra sport tyres -Ive had these before when having a new bike. Anyway I have a set of not much used GP4000S in 25mm and was going to swap these over. As I took the tube out it seemed quite large and the markings said Valvert 700 35/45 !!!!!! - I postponed the tyre...

I found an unused, un-packaged Vittoria Rubino 700x23 that I had forgotten about in the outside shed. It had probably been there for two or three years but judging by the tread, had never been used. I've used a dozen or so Rubinos in the past and have never had a problem fitting them. This...

Anyone give me a clue of a decent all-round tyre.Only for son's bike so something that will take some abuse so to speak. These any good ? https://www.wiggle.co.uk/continental-tour-ride-city-mtb-tyre

Hi, I am now running my first set of tubeless tyres but struggle with topping up the psi. I can top them up but it takes a massive effort most of my 90kg bodyweight on the pump and it’s slow going just had massive resistance at 60-70psi. I Just wondered if that is how they are or if I should be...
