Good tires for wet conditions
I am looking for recommendations for a good tire for riding in the rain. Looking for something 700x25-28.
Thanks
Thanks

I've had good luck with my Conti 4000s tires - even running 23mm's on damp pavement. I *think* they came out with a 25mm tire.

My favorite is Schwalbe Marathon Plus 700x28
Am 6'1" 206 lbs +/-, usually get about 3,000 miles on rear tire, present front tire has 5,723 miles on it.
