What's the consensus for a decently fast/comfortable but reliable 28mm tire? Michelin Power Endurance? P Zero velo? Should I go back to Corsa Controls? Dive in on the Vittora Pave 27s for £25 on Wiggle?
Currently running Veloflex Corsa 28s (tubed) - super comfy but had a couple of punctures (admittedly over big patches of broken glass each time) but get the feeling they might not be the most resilient of tires.
I'm planing on going on a 3/4 days long weekend trip in August and thinking I might fit some slightly hardier tires for that as I'm aiming to seek some miles on crappy tiny country lanes and would be happy to cruise on the odd gravelly towpath and would rather not be fixing many punctures. Corsa Control V1 and Micheling Pro4 Endurance did that trick extremely well in the past, though Corsa Control G2.0 seemed more fragile.
I'm running tubed but feel free to tell me I'm doing it wrong and should go tubeless. I might listen. Maybe.
