Best low cost bike tire
Hey guys! I was just wondering what the best low cost($25 per tire) is.
I don't care about flat resistance(I use tire liners)
I just want tires that are long lasting. Thanks!

you can get vittoria rubino pros for about $25/tire on probikekit. i like mine and get several thousand miles per tire with very few flats.
EDIT: gotta get lucky and catch them when they're in stock, though...

Realistically, Panaracer Paselas are a great tire for the money - smooth ride, fast-ish, and long lasting.

I'm a fan of the Nashbar Duro line. Made by Panaracer, good ride quality and long lasting.
