'Upgrading' to skinny tyres pointless for London commuting

@ BMMF

Well maybe. I only know about these Optimum things as I was planning buy some 25c Pro Race 3s and they cropped up in a search.

I had some Lithions in 2009 and I thought they were super shit under braking. I don't know if my pair were old or in some way damaged, or whether the compound has since changed. Some people rave about more recent Lithions.

I don't know about the 3s, but I've owned Pro 2 Races in both sizes, and the 25 version was like a completely different tyre. Different tread/compound/feel/big weight increase.
