we all know that published widths dont mean a damn.

can anyone recommend any truly thin tires?

clinchers, of course.

Long and thin goes right in, but short and thick does the trick.

Thin or narrow?


as the original question was referring to width... then i guess i should have used the word "narrow"

thanks for the correction.

any other suggestions than Conti?

conti is really the only brand that I can think of that runs especially thin. I think you can get some michelins in 700x20.

Thin tires are overrated anyways. I'd just run 23s, it makes life easier.

Don't try any aggressive cornering on narrow tyres... especially on bumpy roads or with other riders around...

You can get Kenda's in 18 width. Please note that I'm not recommending them; but I'm sure they're not the only ones.
