Which Tyres?

Does anyone use the new "Graphene®™" versions?

Yes - From Copenhagen to Vienna on rough roads, no punctures.

You keep these for winter?

...selling them. Strada Bianca makes me smile more

I recall the green tyres with a cross latice centre . It was like peddling a paddle steamer in the wet . They Filled up with water then goosed your rims with rust .

Ugh I hate to be "that guy" but I need advice. I've read bits of this thread but it's a minefield. I'm after a pair of tyres that'll suit brake shy city and herne hill riding. I'm thinking 25c Rubino pro front and back. How do they hold up to skidding?

I'd advise against skidding if you want to use that tyres on the track.

Either buy another rear wheel for HHV, or change tyres before you head to HHV.

Thanks for the advice @edscoble, looks like I need to reconsider my whole approach

Went with the Rubino pros as they're £15 each at chainreaction right now.

Any recommendations for an all weather commuter tyre for a fixed gear?

Max sizes I can fit are a 25c on the front and 28c on the rear.

I previously had halo twins rails with I never felt confident on and gatorskins which I was forever getting punctures with.

Gravel kings? Schwalbe Durano or One?

GP 4 Seasons? Boring but good.

Panaracer Paselas in 25 if your not bothered about going fast. Last ages, look smart, plenty of grip, about as bullet proof as you can get before going down the Marathon + route.

Four seasons are nicer and quicker though.

Rimbo rear, GP4000s front #pro

Cheers for the suggestions.

GP 4 Seasons look like a good tyre, are they a decent tyre in the wet? The gatorskins and halo twin rails I had were not at all.

are they a decent tyre in the wet?

Yeah they're good.

Second this, for a fast tyre probably the best out there in the wet.

Don't get all the negativity towards Gatorskins. My last puncture was 18months ago and I know how to handle a bike so I've never experienced the apparent lack of grip...They're fine.

Not the green sidewall mind

That reminds me, I've got a pair of 27s with the green sidewall to sell.

Are they new, @andyp ? I'll take them if so.

Yes, still boxed and unused. Will PM.

Bontrager XR4 - 2.35 front and back, or 2.2 on the rear?

recommendations for a 700x42c that works well but wont break the bank?

Specialized Fat boys

Marathon Supreme

700x30ish tyres for all road usage? Good compromise between weight and puncture resistance and won't destroy my wallet?
