Long lasting, skid resistent tyres?

had the Randonneur's on mine for 2 weeks now, seem pretty good, not that big for a 28, didn't think it would sqeeze in but had no trouble they are pretty narrow. more like a 26. and no probs getting on a cxp33

^ what he said. Went out last night with one on the back for the first time and it's great. No need to break in at all and it slides around really smoothly and predictably with no sudden grabbing. Can see why the Mash SF guys go on about them.

The compound is amazing, feels like your riding around with Mars Plastic for a rear tyre.
