hi,
looking for a good tire for my autumn / winter beater.
Rims inner width is 13mm, hoping I´l b able to get 28mm tires on there.
I´m after a tire that grips well when wet, and I also like the thought of reflective sides. I guess I´m after something with a bit of tread but still rolls well.
Been looking at Vittoria Randos 28c. They seem to be everything of the above. Just about to buy em when I was offered a pair of Schwalbe Marathons plus at the same price as the Vittorias. Which is I guess a good deal if the marathons is what you´re after. But are they what I´m after? When reading about them they seem very heavy ?
Anyone who has tried both who want to share their opinion?
Any other tips for good tires that fits my criteria? (grips well, rolls well, reflective sides, not too heavy...) I would prefer not spending more than £40...
Thanks!
