Armadillo folding tyres vs Armadillo not folding tyres
Hello all my road bike chums. I'm getting new wheels and want to get new tyres to go with them. Currently I have Specialized All Condition Armadillo Elites, which are super but a bit battered. I'm wondering about the Roubaix Armadillo Elite Folding Tyres in order to potentially save a bit of weight, has anyone used these? Are they basically identical to the ones I have, but folding? Any of your wise input would be greatly appreciated, ta!

No help, but I just made the change to the Elite Roubaix Armadillo from the non folding All Condition.
Definitely a 'larger' tire, more 25 than 23. I can only just squeeze them through the brake calipers.
I use them for training/commuting so for that I suspect that they'll be fine.
Only 30 miles so far.
Don't feel any different.
