Which red tyre (700x23) for under £10

[wbmkk]

I have an old Raleigh road bike, see below which I like to use red tyres on.

As the bike isn't worth much, there doesn't seem much point in spending a stack of money on tyres. The tyres on at the moment are well over a year old, so I suppose it's time to change them now.

Which of these are the better bet please ?

Vittoria Rubino Wire Bead Clincher at £9.50 each

Schwalbe Lugano Rigid Road Tyre at £8.50 each (current tyres)

Don't know about the schwalbe but I've used the rubino in red and it's a good cheap tyre, no problems with it.

I had wire rubinos in red, good mileage and grip, can't recall any punctures. Recommended!

I've had several sets of the luganos in red and blue can't remember any punctures they roll well too

@jefmcg Has put a km or two on red rubinos

Yup.

4 pages to read about it, if you are curious. Or click here for a summary

Currently rocking Rubino Pros, but only because they are a much better spec'd tyre, and they were on special the day I bought them. I'll happily go back to Rubinos when these wear out.

Used Rubinos in the past and no problems for me. Good tyres for the money.

I'm a big fan of Rubinos. I commute on them and they seem quite ***ctureproof.
