My tyres came in today, 700x47c Conti Touring Plus's.
Dunno how happy i'm gonna be with them, they weigh a fecking ton! And only go upto 58psi.
I coulda gone for Top Contacts which have a higher max pressure but they retail at over £40 a tyre.
All the other Conti tyres that go upto 47c wide max out at 58psi and i couldnt find anything as wide from Schwalbe, they are about the only two decent tyre brands we get in the shop.
They fit in the frame with room to spare though.
