It looks like I won't be able to squeeze on my 28c Corsa's (approx. 29mm) onto my new frame so I'm in the market for some fast rolling durable 25c tan walls. It's unlikely I'll be riding them much in very wet/bad weather but I would like to be able to use them through the winter on clear days.
In order or price I have
Schwalbe one - £30
Pirelli P-Zero - £44
Turbo Cottons 26c - £52
Any comments on sizing (blow up big/small) and which would be the most durable? I like the darker tan wall on the P-zero's but I'm worried they may be a little fragile. The turbo cottons are the prettiest but pretty spendy and not really an all year round tyre from what I can see. I have some GP4000's I'll try later to see how big I can go in 25c (mine measure around 27mm).
I might keep Veloflex masters as a wild card but my last pair gave me too many punctures and keeping the sidewalls clean was a bugger.
