if you are to decide based on specification, which tire would you choose?
definitely not for racing use. mostly day tour and fitness ride.
tire A
26x1.3 slick, 66tpi, 72psi max
60a duro thermo silica
680grams (puncture resistance system)
wire bead
tire B
26x1.25 slick, 60tpi, 100psi max
70a durable long wearing compound
probably less than 500grams (basic puncture protection only)
wire bead
i hope you guys don't mind the 'blind test', maybe you can try to guess the tire.
thanks in advance!
