Hi guys,
I'm looking for some new tires for my commuter bike - 700c, preferably fairly skinny but not at the expense of comfort/my wrists...
I used to have a pair of Vittoria Randonneurs on my old bike (which unfortunately got stolen (the whole bike, not the tires haha)), these were nice but a little wide and hard as hell to get on/off the rim! The puncture protection was real good though, so once they were on, it wasn't too much of an issue.
Ideally I'm just looking for something similar, maybe a bit easier to pop on and off and maybe a bit slimmer. I've heard good things about Gatorskins, but mainly from guys riding fixed - I'm not fussed about how well they hold up for skids, I just want good puncture protection!
Any suggestions guys? thanks in advance!
