Default New Tyres

I am currently riding on a set of Michelin Race pro2 tyres. The rear has flated a few times recently, and I have noticed a number of small nicks and holes in the tyre itself.
I am considering replacing either one or both tyres, and was wanting some recommendations.
I use the bike for my daily commute(22 kms per day), as well as group rides at the weekends, riding on good sealed roads all of the time.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Default Re: New Tyres

Well, depends what you are looking for and what your budget is. I would suggest you consider a good 'training' tire like a Vittoria Rubino Pro. Have used these for years and really enjoy them.

My shop recently gave me some Specialised Roubaix tires that fit a 23 mm rim but are actually 25mm for a bit extra comfort.

Or go high end (trading wear for extremely fast performance and comfort) with something like Vittoria CX or Veloflex.
