  • no probs with my gators either, chunky IS wrong :)

  • vittoria's for 4 bucks!man you can skid 'em down to the casing and still no punc's.2nd vredsteins good too.man stay away from expensive tyres their a con!

  • i use the Conti GP 4000, and only had one puncture, in the back. they're nice.

  • where do you get vittorias for £4??!!??

  • SkullheadWilderness Think I'm gonna try out the Vredesteins. Not sure if I want coloured tyres but hey.

    I've got all black now. Seriously cool and cheaper than coloured....

  • On Your Left! ;)

  • Conan where do you get vittorias for £4??!!??

    cheap deal at ribble £13.99 for 2 rubino's, 2 tube, 2 rim tape :)

  • Zaffiros (£13.99) versus Rubinos (not pros & £16.99). Anybody?

    Why can't they just call them: Sticky one, thin one, fast one, bumpy one, shit one?
    That's how I'm gonna handle kid's names, I reckon…

  • rubino's are better than zafiro's, higher tpi, something like 120??!?

  • Grazi.

  • i ride both as i got a few zaffs for £4.50. I much prefer the rubinos, they look nicer, feel nicer and dont make as strange sounds when you skid them.

  • What, like cats mewing, followed by a strange noise not dissimilar to hitting a cow in the head with a feisty cockerel?

  • I got some gatorskins after 4 punctures in a week on crappy bargain bucket tyres. Put 'em on and punctured on day 1 - grrrr. Arse.

    Still - have been ok since, but do find them really sketchy in the wet. Makes for more of an 'exciting' ride in that I ideally like. Need to find something ubersticky & longlasting next - hmmmm.

  • tufo's are like that.they sound like you ridin' an eighteen wheeler trucker. just missing the one tanned arm.

  • Really?
    Ditto the initial p_____e, followed by heavy-wood-touching okay-ness.
    But I find them stickier than a slug on heat. Which sucks.

  • The Gatorskins I mean.
    Not Tuffos. (Huh?)
    Or cockerels.

  • dogsballs rubino's are better than zafiro's, higher tpi, something like 120??!?

    I'm still using the one I bought off DDM. It's skidded down to canvas and still holding out.. unlike those SHIT CONTIS.

  • I used to use contis ultra gator until i had the same problem with teh side walls. bought rubinos coz they were cheeper and have had no problems for months - haven;t had a puncture for ages
