Cheers @hippy I’d forgotten about the thickslicks. I think I need to work out if I really ‘need’ the 60mm ( the G ones come up at 64mm on a 30mm int rim) or a smaller tyre will be enough, I mean 47mm + is hardly a narrow tyre…hmmmm

I just rode 500km of shitty Wessex lanes using 28mm Michelin Pro Endurance, the same tyres that have done TCR etc. There's no real need to go for anything super durable unless you really don't wanna mend a puncture or you definitely will be on rougher stuff.

There's always a compromise somewhere but you can ride road bike tyres over a lot of stuff!
