Alternative to Conti 4000s (something not quite as tall)
I have an Orbea Avant with fenders mounted. I was running a pair of Vittoria Zaffiro 700x25, but didn’t love the tires. I had a pair of Conti 4000S 700x25’s sitting around so I mounted them. Unfortunately, they seem to be just a little taller and ever so slightly rub against the front fender. There isn’t room to move the fender further from the tire as the rubbing is under the fork crown. Also, I would like to stick with 700x25. Is there another tire that is comparable in performance to the 4000S 700x25, but not quite as tall?
