Need a bit of sage wisdom...
Doing a week of road touring next week, finishing with the dynamo, route is all tarmac as far as I know.
I’ve got a choice of a few different tyres, 25mm GP4ks, 28mm lifeline road armor’s or 30mm Schwalbe g-one Speed’s I got cheap. Tubeless isn’t an option because I’ve never ridden it before and I’m not using this week as a guinea pig.
Ideally I’d like to go bigger and run lower pressures, basically what I’m asking is are g one speeds good on tarmac? Or are they more of a tyre for 50/50 road/gravel rides. I’m sure they’re better tubeless but I’m sure they’ll be fine with tubes in. Easy option is the lifeline 28s but I’m sure the g ones are a lot nicer, and they’re a bit bigger.
