Continental Gatorskins - I'll never hear these tyres dissed. Run 25s and 23s.
Grip 7/10
Wear 9/10 Change them every 12 months depending on the weather - if it's nice I'll go out, if not - change the tyres.
Puncture Protection 7/10 Good, not great.
Comfort 7/10
Weight x/10 Not something that bothers me.
Speed (rolling resistance) 8/10 No worries, London street are not the track.
Appearance (or Looks, if it comes in colours) 6/10 Black with bits of orange
Price 8/10 Not cheap, but classy and goes the distance. The way all things should be.
Skidability 5/10 Compound too soft.
