Hello and thanks for clicking
I went into a shadowy alley in a NYC street and came out flat. The puncture sliced my tire across. Inflating shows the gash would open eventually and the tire could fail completely (leaving me riding the tube, bah.)
I've been riding for a while, but as a casual rider, I've never had to replace tires, I just never wore them out.
So I live in NYC. I bike about 2-4 days a week. Potholes everywhere, stop n go traffic, unexpected braking, and all the weather in the world. I don't know what to choose for tire texture.
I tend to ride only in above 50º (fahrenheit) and non-rainy (though wet asphalt is a go) conditions. The two tires I am considering are continental 4season and gatorskin. I don't know which to choose. Maybe gatorskin rear and 4season front (whenever the front needs replacement?)
Thanks
