Winter Road tyre recommendations...

wookiee · Sep 18, 2014

Hi

Knowing very little about road bike tyres I am after some advice. After kitting out my winter road ride with some good tyres. I dont want super skinny (currently have 23-24mm slicks on) After a bit more comfort and more forgiving to pot holes and wet tarmac! For a 700c wheels...

Many thanks in advance

Doug

Hi Doug ,

I us Specialised Armadillos, around 23mm IIRC, in the loft right now, not heavy, and good puncture resistance too.

Thanks for that I'll have a look...was hoping for something a bit wider?

Sorry mate,

I'm an old roadie, 23mm IS wide to me!

Conti Gatorskins - no better all round tyre. And in widths of 23, 25, 28 and 32

Puncture resistant, grippy, long lasting and fairly fast.

I'd go with Gatorskins or Conti GP4Season if you are feeling flush.

What clearance do you have on your road bike once guards are in place?

Re:

Conti Gator Hardshell - available in 23, 25 & 28 mm - would also be a good choice (Xtra strength sidewalls)

Re:

Thanks for the recommendations. The armadillo look like the sort of thing I was thinking of...not going to run with mudguards...and just checked the current tyres on the bike are 19mm... :facepalm:
