Which Tyres?

Forgot you don't live round the corner anymore. Might pm you if I can find some time

Can anyone give me a legit reason to go Corsa G+ Over Schwalbe One? Want tan sidewalks but double the price is stupid...

Schwalbe One are such good tyres and at around £20 a tyre in most places it's really hard to choose anything else.

Veloflex with tan sidwealls and the last version of the Corsa are cheaper than Corsa G+, but they're not going to be as a good an all-round tyre as the Schwalbe's

What he said although I just ordered some G+ .. I've used Schwalbe Ones in past so will let you know how they compare.

The graphene property of the Vittoria sound awesome and would be my next purchase, but having said that, £20 for One is too good to pass up.

It appears that I was drinking last night... don't think I'll be going for the G+, can't imagine they're twice as good as the Ones which I've been using for a while and love

Hmmm... I'm being a tart again. I see the black/white Schwalbe One only come in 23c, not 25c. But the reviews suggest they're dead comfy anyway since they're nice and supple. Thinking of swapping out my 25c Clement Strada LGG for 23c One on my Summer bike. Thoughts?

I am paralysed by choice
I have sworn by the Bontranger Hardcase Racelite for nearly a decade, and have been largely puncture free, but my last pair is nearly the end of their working life.
I know they have been discontinued and there is the AW range that seeks to replace them.

Anyone running the Bonty AW range, or have recommendation?
I value puncture protection and grip over rolling resistance and weight.

thoughts/opinions etc?

Durano

or Durano Plus for extra meatiness

A car.

JK.

Durano. Or Maxxis Refuse for hipster points. Or Panaracer RibMo.

Durano it is

Duranos are very good.

Unless you can fit Kojaks...

You were largely puncture free by luck.

Just replace them with any tyres, durano is decent, durano plus is like a mini-marathon plus.

Just replace them with any tyres

No.
I might however use an internet forum to commune with other cyclists, who ride in conditions similar to me, to gague accumulated knowledge around the matter and give myself a better chance of purchasing a tyre that suits my needs.

You're supposed to ask a question, then argue with everyone's answer until you crack the shits and flounce.

Oh...
OK.
Um.

ahem

You are all wallies.
Especially you @hippy - you are a silly sausage.

Your bike's are all rubbish and you are all riding on the wrong tyres because you are stupid.

I bid you a good day.

Are not!

I bid you a good day.

Oddly excited about these http://www.vredestein.com/two-wheel-tyres/race/competition-line/fortezza-senso-superiore/info/

Always really liked the way vittoria open tubulars ride, but found them sketchy in the wet so run fortezza tricomps for the wetter and inclemental months since they're amazing grippy and last for ever and a day. Hopefully this could combine the best of both worlds, though likely won't be as durable. Still excited.

So I was thinking about the Clement Strada LGG in 32c to go on my archetypes for my pomp/tank. I've read previous posts it's sidewall exposure for wide rims at 28c is a problem? Is a 32 strada going to exacerbate that? If so is there a 32c countrylane / audaxy type tyre would recommended at the £20 mark?
