• Don't bother. Get the all-road for longevity. I've head to replace a few for long distance riders and they're amazing, but if you love the speed ones, prepare to change them frequently.

    Not that they suffer much when they wear the middle out mind you. I used a customers old ones, and still got another 2.5k out of them!

    But if you want fit, forget and just ride, get the all road.

  • Thanks for the reply, the low mileage of Speeds is exactly the thing that together with price stops me from buying them. Maxxis Re-Fuse seem very tempting at that 50 EUR a pair though. In the end I might just continue with Vittorias until I wear them out and then think about either G-One Allround or Gravelking SK as do-it-all tyre or buying a second wheelset to have separate road and dirt wheels.

  • Re-Fuse don't compare. All forms of the G-Ones are so goddamned capable and fast. It's my favourite tyre and I'll scream and shout about till the sun rises. They're superb, but if I needed a do it all tyre, it'll be the all-road; the speed is so sticky/compliant/fast, but you do suffer in terms of longevity.
    I know they're expensive, but tyres are one of the few things I don't hesitate to spend money on; it's the only contact between you and the ground.
