23mm tan wall tyre options in 2025

[cce]

As subject really. What are people's favourite options for a tan wall 23 that's not NOS because I ride the bike when the sun is out

Michelin Dynamic Classic, but mainly because they still come in 20c. They age nicely too.

Veloflex Corsa Evo (the older Master is good too but now out of production).

...And Vittoria Corsa G2 would be my picks. Both excellent grippy tyres with great rolling resistance and good puncture resistance.. for the roads I ride at least.

I considered Challenge for some recent builds but they get some poor reviews for durability so I didn't bother.

Dynamic Classics are definitely good value for money, and surprisingly light considering the price and the fact they are beaded rather than folding.

I have some 20c and 23c ones on two bikes currently, and they roll nicely enough without being puncture-prone. Well, so far

Vittoria do some nice folding tan wall options, but they seem hard to get in 23c now that 28c is all the rage. 25c are more available if you can go that wide. Otherwise it’s true, options are limited.
