Tyre advice pls

[Dec66]

My BTwin came with a pair of Hutchinson Equinox 2's, which I found to be excellent in terms of rolling resistance. Sadly the front one recently got a split in the side wall, and I had trouble getting replacements, so I got a pair of Schwalbe Luganos. Now I feel like I'm riding through treacle.

Before I try to secure some Hutchinson's again, can anyone suggest a good mid price 700 x 23c tyre that rolls nicely?

Thanks.

Vittoria Rubino pro slicks roll well on two of my bikes. Can get for £15-20. Pbk look to be about the cheapest at the mo

I've been wrestling with a similar decision.
There's some great info here:

Thanks, will have a look about.... Did spot those but the reviews were a bit mixed, nice to have a real testimonial

Those are 25mm, he does say he wants 23mm, although I'm sure they do them. I replaced Pro 4 endurance with the Vittorias and seem to go well on the bike (as well as on the other bike)

Mitchelin pro 4 if you want good ride quality. I notice you say you want 23c but if you have the space try 25 im sure you will be converted rather quick

You will get lots of tyre advice. Everyone has their fav's. Here's mine and at 31 quid for 2 pro 3's and tubes it's a great deal.
