What tires should i buy?
Hey guys. I need to replace my current tires but i don't know what should i buy.
Here in a local shop they have Rubena Syrinx and Michelin Speedium 2.
Which is better? Would you recommend another tire in the same price range?
I need them for training and i want to put some miles on them
thks in advance

If you can wait a few weeks (months?), go to one of the UK sites (Pro Bike Kit, Ribble, Wiggle, Chain Reaction Cycles), see what they have, and get three or four of the best tires you can fit into your budget.
You'll pay less for a good set of Conti GP4000s there then you'd pay for Michelin Speediums at your LBS.

Used set of Lithons for 3 years. Loved them. Rarely flatted. Only replaced them when they wore out. User reviews aren't good, but my experience was excellent. Just put on 4000s' today. Haven't ridden them but user reviews are over-the-top good.

If you are in a hurry you should still check biketiresdirect.com, for training I like michelin krylion....or if you don't mind paying a bit more continental GP4000s are even better (more responsive and still fairly flat resistant).

has anyone used Rubena Syrinx tires?
They are made from kevlar and they're a bit cheaper than speedium
rubena is part of continental so they must be good, no?
