Long lasting, skid resistent tyres?

top contact make the best noise ever [/broken record]

Just put an Armadilido on my rear wheel, will let you know how long it lasts...

There is going to be a Vittoria Randonneur in 25c next year rendering all further fixie skidder tyre arguments null and void.

Vittoria Randonneurs 28c . . . had them a few weeks and been skidding about quite alot , still good as new so I assume they'll last. got the white one's too they look saweet.

-ve rep for making me snigger on the shitter at work :(

what would be the best choice in 650c?

Most people go for Gatorskins.

I'm with eightball on choice of tyres, Bontrager Race Lite for the win.
I used to go through heaps of continental tyres from ultrasports (sh*t) to sport contacts (decent), then i decided to use my staff discount on a set of Bontragers (25c) and they are the amazing. I skid alot and and i'm a 'wellbuilt' bastard, 4 months down the line the tyre is still going strong! The roads in aberdeen are f*cking rough too so i'm well impressed!

On the front yes, not for skidding on though?

v disappointed with my rando - didn't last very long at all (2-3 weeks).

soma everlast is the next on the list i think.

Another armadildo fan here. The things are hilarious in the wet. So to speak.

+1 on the 'dillo

I assumed you meant for the front, I mean how often do you see a 650 on the back??

Unless you skid the front wheel? :)

Tyres are shit...

Tyreless FTW... oh...

I can testify to the Schwalbe Blizzard Proof during the bad months.

Andy at 14 very kindly just gave me Conti Super sport to try out. Perfect timing as I skidded through my 5 week old Rando 2 minutes later

i've just about worn through the Conti Super Sport that John @ 14 gave me..... still undecided on them. lasted about the same period as a rando....

the rubber comes off in chunks when you get down to the yellow... they dont wear as evenly as randos.

would be interested to see how much they retail for.

How on earth people managed to wear out a Randonneur in under a month?

Isn't it, my most recent one is in it's 4th month and not red all the way round yet.
