Which Tyres?

What's the best 700 x 25mm (or 26mm) gumwall clincher money can buy?

turbo cotton

Best for what?

Speed? What amey said. Durability? Not what amey said.

More durable than Corsa G+ IME though

The people at Bicycle Rolling Resistance say otherwise.

I'm talking about REAL WORLD TESTING fam. Corsas pick up flints like nobodies business.

I've not used any of the new graphene stuff.

OK MATE. 9,000 km on my G+ and one flat. REAL WORLD TESTING.

Just to contrast that I got a flat on a G+ after about 4 miles from new.

Really? What do you weigh? I don't think I get 9000k out of anything except Durano or Durano Plus thickness tyres.

Yes really. 72kg.
110 psi, 23c. Need to replace as they now look like shit.
Ridden in London, Home Counties and on dubious Eastern European fire roads.

Genuinely keen to see the wear on front and rear if you can be bothered to take a pic. I've also done 5k km without a single flat but when I got new wheels I swapped front to rear.

72g, 110psi, 23s, 9000k, 1 flat?

Your pressure choice is awful but maybe I should have a look into these G+ variants. I kinda moved away from Vittoria to Schwalbe when my distances started getting stupid and I hate repairing flats. Maybe you're just lucky though and your next set will have 10 flats in a week? :)

I used to get 4k out of a Pro Race before it would start flatting 'often'.

The G+ gets decent punc rating compared to its competitors but other people are getting nowhere near the 9000k mark from them.

Works for me. Yeah, maybe a lucky pair.

@amey meet me in RP before I swap them.

Looks like this Graphene shit is going to have to get hippy tested.

looking forward to the tweets

I'm not putting them near my cock.

Oh, for the record, I rode the Vittoria Voyager Hyper 32s to Wales and back on Sat and nothing negative to report. I quite like them. It was a less potholed route than I normally found myself on and for a change I was mostly in a good mood.

28mm+, tanwall, tubeless - what are my options?

Some modest real world testing to add to the G+ data. Only ~1500km so far, no flats and very few cuts. (25c, 70kg, dry weather riding London/Kent.)

I've got new wheels coming in the next few weeks and highly tempted by the 26mm Turbo Cottons. However, In 7,000 km I've not yet had a puncture with 25mm GP4000IIs and have gotten complacent enough to leave my tools/gas at home lately.

Considering above comments about Durability am I to be sorely disappointed?

My old wheels are 11mm wide internally requiring a good 110+ PSI for effective use, is high pressure having a positive effect on my durability?
New wheels are a lot wider allowing for lower pressures and hopefully a bit more comfort.

72kg and 110psi!

High pressure increase risk of puncture.

Thanks! Will remain optimistic about the cottons in that case.
