DURABLE PUNCTURE-RESISTANT TRAINING / ALL SEASON PERFORMANCE
Our All Condition road tire does absolutely everything well, making it one of the best all-around tires available anywhere. Proprietary Armadillo flat protection assures riders can cover as much terrain as they want and never have to worry about punctures. The lightweight dual-compound siped tread blends all-condition traction even in wet conditions with exceptional wear. Top it all off with our motorcycle-inspired dual radius design (DRT) that minimizes contact in straight lines, while maximizing contact surface and traction in corners.

+1 for the 25s which actually measure in at 28mm on my Mach 1 240 wheels. I tried the 700x18 Contis first but switched the rear to the armadillo after getting 4 flats in 2 weeks, and i rarely get flats (I know I've cursed my self now
). The armadillos will also take 15 psi more pressure that the contis.
So far so good running a conti in front and the armadillo in the back.
