Speaking of the Racers, how would you compare them to the Scorchers (or even the Sport Contacts) - more specifically, which would you buy again?
The major advantage of the Sport Contact’s was their apparent indestructibility. No punctures in 1000kms and they were pretty fast, but 360g for a 28mm tyre was heavy.

I think I will be sticking with the non-Kevlar Scorchers for now, but I want to see how puncture proof they are and how long the rubber lasts.

Stelvios are prone to punctures (at least in my experience), but they are quick.

Scientific data is lacking (A to B did compare the 349 size Scorcher and Stelvio) but I wouldn’t be surprised if in the 406 size, the Stelvio had the edge on rolling resistance.

Why don’t you see if you can squeeze a Scorcher on your brommie?
