@ianrauk recommended these ones to me, they look brilliant and red and no punctures so far! They come in a whole bunch of colours and widths (23, 25 & 28c) - only £11 too!

I have a set of tyres hanging up in the garage that I bought about 12 months ago. Will they be ok for this summer or do they perish quickly over time?
I bought them second hand and they seemed ok then.

Sadly "didn't" rather than "doesn't" He passed away a few years ago

I have red and black tyres on my Pave...then I am a woman so it's ok

On a hybrid, you'll want 25s or 28s really. You can get single colour non black tyres in a 25 but I think only Schwalbe really do the stripe and not in a 25 (I looked for those initially)
Possible here? Problem is the colour need may mean you don't get the best tyre

I've 38s on my hybrid, or 35 when I switch to the ice tyres. Think I am going to take the 38's down to 35 or 32 when I next change them, probably 32 thinking about it.

They should be okay, I would use them until you start getting frequent punctures or start sliding about to much on them.
