I have a BikeE RX with the Maxxis Hookworms and, although they have proven to be "bullet proof",
I've become very interested in seeing if I couldn't get more speed with faster, lighter tires. I
emailed and called numerous recumbent shops to get opinions and found that the overwhelming majority
recommend the following for what they think is the best combination of speed and durability (they
all agree that the Primo Comets are the fastest, but are not durable and are more prone to flats):
Tioga Comp Pool 20 x 1.75 for the rear Kenda Kwest 16 x 1.5 for the front
Kenda Kwest front and rear would be a lesser alternative as well as Schwalbe City Jets.
I've ordered the above tires from my favorite local bike shop and am anxious to try them out, but
first I have to wait for the end of all the snow.
