• Which Tyres?

  The shitty stock tyres that come on the Fuji recommend a maximum pressure of 90psi. I've been pushing them up a bit beyond that though.

  Alright...I deserverved that.

  Thanks for the genuine replies though.

  Thanks to those with genuine replies.

  The rest of you are brilliant. Seriously.

  I hadn’t searched for tyres before but now I have.

  I see that hundreds of people are selling second hand tyres; or looking for good tyres for skidding; or looking for good tyres for polo.
  Brilliant. That seems to match exactly with what I want. I’m surprised that when I searched before, I didn’t notice.

  I also apologise for not realising what a crime it is to ask about things like this on a bike forum as a newbie. I now realize that unless you know everything about bikes, you should not post anywhere on this forum.

  Cheers for the insight.

  I've been riding a Fuji Track 2008 for about 4 months now and I've suddenly started to get loads of punctures.

  The stock tyres are well known to be pretty dire but can anyone recommend a good upgrade? I don't want to really spend too much on upgrades at this point but some guidance on entry - mid level tyre options would be good.

  I was thinking of maybe tryin the Continental Grand Prix as they seem to be about £20 each and the reviews are alright - anyone have experience with these?
