Upgrade Tyre..

[Boon 51]

I'm running Giant Flatguards at the moment but would like to up grade very soon as the old tyres are nearly worn out, so would the Gatorskin folding or the Continental 4000 be an improvement... I would like a good rolling tyre?

Cheers.

4000's are race tyres, gators training tyre. You could also consider Conti 4 Seasons - were on offer at Cycle Surgery a day or two ago for £39 for two (I ordered them - bargain) 4 Seasons are very good all round tyre.

Gators roll well and have decent protection, 4 seasons are supposed to be better but more expensive i believe.

I've run Gators for years and I'm loathe to use anything else now as I've always found them to be brilliant performers.

I think everyone has their favourite tyres. It's Vittoria Rubino Pro for me, if you're looking for a 23 or 25.

+1 for these. Get the 28mm (they're only 25's in reality.)

A more superb tyre I've yet to find, they feel nicer even than my 4000s's on the roadie.

I'm running mitch Krylion Carbons on my Kinesis and they are the best all round tyres I've had (grip/roll/p'ture protection/wear) and are cheaper than the conti's too normally and over the life of the tyres a lot cheaper. They can be hard to get old of though, I've bought their successors (Pro 4 Endurance) for spares, I'm still waiting for the Kyrlion to wear out though.

I am running conti ultra sport at the moment. They offer good grip even when cornering at high speed. They also roll very well.
