5 Top, 4 Season Road-Bike Tyres With Low Rolling Resistance, Good Drip and Puncture protection
I haven’t tested these tyres. I currently use Panaracer Ribmo Protite on my touring bike all-year round. These tyres are coming to the end of their life and I was looking for some faster road bike tyres with lower rolling resistance with good puncture protection that can be used in all four seasons. I don’t commute. I’ll do 30 K with Cotswold climbs/descents midweek nights for which I use my hybrid with 32s. At weekends it’s all daytime riding and I happy with 28 mm tyres and reduced but good puncture protection. Here’s 5 Top, 4 Season Road-Bike Tyres With Low Rolling Resistance, Good Drip and Puncture protection:
