Tire type
HI,is there any advantage or disadvantage to using a wire bead tire vs. a folding tire??
Also the same ? for a 700 x 23 vs a 700 x 25 ??? I seen a review with a guy using a 23 in front and a 25 in the rear **********???

Throw the stick!!!!
Wire beaded tires generally weight a good bit more than folding tires.

Rear wheel bears more weight. Wider tire on the rear provides more cushion and durability where the weight is greatest.
