suggested type of tires?
I was wondering if there's a certain type that's better for its buck than others in the 0-100 range
also with tubes was wondering if any certain brand is better than others or they're all the same |
Better for what???
Whatcha got for a bike, what sorts of riding do ya do, how much do ya weigh? And how big a tire can you git in there? If it's the R330 you mention in your sig line, it looks like you are stuck with skinny. Pity. I like the Vredstein Fortezza 25c if nothing larger will fit. http://www.nashbar.com/bikes/Product...5_10000_201490 |

Michelin pro 3.

I'd still suggest the 25c Fortezza, it's a sweet riding tire. You could run the pressure at 80-90 psi and they should have a very sweet ride.
No matter what tire you get, you simply don't need a lot of pressure. I mention that because we get a lot of kids. Kids like excitement, and high pressure bounces them around and they like that. They think it's faster, but with a tire rock hard, it spends a lot of time going up and down when it could have been moving forward. It would actually be slower. |
Ride what you have until they wear out. Than decide what you didn't like about them. Picking tires is all about durability vs ride/handling. I'm not hard on tires so I go toward the ride/handling side. You may need more durable tires then what I use.

I find the ones spelt tyre are generally better.
I tire of seeing tyre spelt wrong. :p Yes I am English. |
Vittoria Rubino Pro's. Just switched from Armadillos and they ride much nicer.
We'll see about wear and puncture resistance. |
Ride what you have to the ground. If you really want to change them I suggest these two that I've used:
Or the obligatory Michelin P3R/Krylion Tubes, I use both Conti and Michelin Ultra lights... |
