Wanted: Pair of tyres...

Looking for a new pair of tires for my current build. Don't care if they are used a bit, but want something that's good in the rain. Not Rubino Pros!!

So I'm looking for both offers and recommendations. Gatorskins? Halo twin rails? What's a really well performing all-round tire? All I know is that the crappy Bontrager I'm riding now grips much better than the Rubinos in the wet...

recommendation:
gatorskin in the front
armadillo in the back

recommendation (fnck!! i had to look at rik's spelling for that.) buy some new ones

yups, don't mind to buy some new ones, but what you recommending?! same as rik?!

always bought new tires before, but thought i'd ask... just in case someone had some almost new that they didn't like :) step up if that's you...

what's wrong with rubino pros?

should i now something before i fit those white bastards to my steed?

rubino PROs are excellent all-rounders for the money.

vittoria make good tyres, continental make some ok tyres and some very shit ones, can't see the point in armadillos unless you are very poor and rubbish at slowing down/stopping without skidding all the time, you may as well buy tyres that ride well.

coloured tyres use different compounds and are usually more silica based, meaning less grip, they are for looks over performance.

But everyone has their own opinion, and ask three people and you'll get four different answers..

no you won't

gatorskins are shite 4-seasons have a higher tpi casing so a better ride and better grip.

here we go..................

Silence, I kill you! Rubino Pro are not shit in the wet, you're shit in the wet. :p

Schwalbe Blizzard Sports - dey is wicked man - cheap and grippy in all weather!!

yeah, but i was also asking if anyone had any they wanted to sell. a search won't do that will it?

Silence, I kill you! Rubino Pro are not shit in the wet, you're shit in the wet. :p

Infidel! I don't find them to be very grippy, in fact before I bought them I read some reviews saying the same but ignored them :S Maybe it's cos I got coloured ones?

Also in general, what's with all the "ooh it's called search, +1" and so forth? We are in classifieds + shopping and I was asking if anyone had some. It's not like I started a thread saying "d00d what's teh best tiah?" If you ain't gonna say nuttin nyce...
