Recently fitted a set of 700x25 Michelin power competition tyres (it's summer down here!) They rode well but have only lasted 500klms. The bloody sidewalls are paper thin and seem to cut through if you look at them. Also puncture through the side wall with blades of grass! I'm not even joking. So in the bin go $100 worth or tyres.
I had better luck with my veloflex masters. What should be on the shopping list? Must be supple, must be grippy and also run true to a 25mm size on 17mm internal rims.
