From: 6 miles inland from the coast of Sussex, in the South East of England

Bikes: Dale MT2000. Bianchi FS920 Kona Explosif. Giant TCR C. Boreas Ignis. Pinarello Fp Uno.

Never used Krylions but I do use Michelin Tyres. The ProRace series and I have a mixture of PR2's and 3's in 23 on various bikes. This is one tyre I do find works well in the wet so I am loath to change from them. However----I bought some Lithions for the winter wheels. I should have known better as I had them before and didn't like them in the wet-----but they were really cheap.

Have tried several tyres over the years with what was supplied on the bikes and have changed over to PR's as soon as possible. Latest bike has a tyre that seems to work well but I Haven't tried them in the wet yet--Ice-- YES and they kept me upright but Once you find a tyre you like- Why use anything else.

The Pr's seem to last well and Puncture resistance is not bad. But they do cut up badly. Have a pair that have done about 3,000 miles and the rear has a distinct flat on the tread- Front is OK. Had 2 punctures in the rear and none on the front but both tyres have deep cuts and gouges in them so I reckon it is time for replacement. Funnily enough the Lithions have done about 1,000 miles and the rear still has the mold marks- but once again they have cuts in them.
