Hi, Im looking for some good tires to ride on mostly clean roads, although i do encounter glass and very sharp stones from time to time. I want a smooth rolling tire, one that is supple, yet fast. Im riding a Specialized Allez triple with the stock 700x23c mondo tires on it (cheap 60tpi wire bead) and while i havnt had any flats or any problems yet, I dont carry a pump or tubes either. I want something puncture resistant, but i dont want too harsh of a ride at the same time. Im a big guy, 220lbs, and running 110psi front, 115psi rear at the current set up.
Any info would help, id like to keep price around $30/tire, and i dont mind ordering online either. Also, would i be better stepping up to a 25c tire, some of the roads around her have really rough pavement (larger crushed stone) that causes a bit of road buzz that gets annoying after a bit. I want to stay fast, but more resistance wont hurt me either, ill get fitter faster
Thanks for the help, and I love this bike and really want to be able to trust it on farther ventures. I think im going to order a frame pump and find a seat bag for those longer trips as well...
