What tyres?

[Chris-H]

Considering the forthcoming Autumn/Winter and i ride predominatly on country lanes which tyres are best suited for my road bike......
Schwalbe Ultremo ZX or Schwalbe Lugano or Michelin Pro 4 Endurance,Continental Ultrasport ?
They all look good,all in my price range but i'm clueless as to which is best.I'm currently using Schwalbe Blizzards which i found to be bloody great,only one puncture in a year,however i fancy treating myself to a better pair now the bike is nearly finished.

A lot of people say the zx tyres puncure alot when its wet, and wear quickly. But no doubt some will dissagree. Personally, i have been a big fan of the krylion that is now called pro 4 endurance.

If it's for autumn/winter use- and presumably training/social riding rather than race- surely you should be looking at tougher tyres, particularly with country lanes in mind? More along the lines of GP 4Seasons/Gator Hardshell, Durano/Durano Plus, and so on?

I have no idea mate hence this post
Anyway have just been up to my top shed only to find a near new pair of Marathon plus's so will bung them on for the time being,i had then for last winter ,only rode a couple of hundred miles,changed them for summer and forgot i had them.
