What are your favourite tyres and why?

I like:

Panaracer Fire XC
Onza Rail

You didn't say why ...

Round one's co they roll much much better than square ones, well someone was gonna say it.

Continental Travelcontact - absolutely EPIC tyres for anything but proper off-roading. Low rolling resistance, practically puncture proof and perfect for road training, country lanes and tow paths - I even road the evil rocky path down from the two radio transmitters on top of the moors east of Rochdale on them last weekend.



Really cannot praise them enough .

Michelin Green Wildgrippers, plenty of different types to choose from and the just look cool and different.

Geax Gato 1.9 & Gato mud 1.7 big large knobs giving plenty grip. also i can buy from halfords.

Schwalbe Marathon Plus for my "shopping" bike, heavy, put virtually puncture proof, I haven't had one in about 1,000 miles so far, which means I don't have to bother carrying a spare tube or puncture repair kit when I pop into town.

I have Schwalbe Sammy Slicks and Schwalbe Hurricanes on my other bikes which are a similar semi slick design to the Continental Travel Contacts, which are good for most of my routes which include a fair amount of tarmac, they both seem quite puncture resistant too.

Continental Traffic

Good value
Modestly prices
Knobbly looks with very good rolling

WTB Velocaraptors, good grippy tyres in virtually all situations, been around since BITD and still available, a classic front and rear specific combo

agree. i used them for riding to work on.
