What Tyre? 2012 GSA

[Pughy]

What tyres would you recommend? 99% of my mileage is on Tarmac, I am going to Southern Morocco via Spain in October and plan some of the higher passes on my trip, when I return it will be autumn heading for winter. I often ride 2 up with luggage and cover 12000 miles a year. Finally the 1% off road is down a 500m green lane to my house which has ruts and is "gnarly" when wet ( a. Lot of the time in Cornwall) & is f@@@ing dodgy on Tourance, so people.....what would you recommend?

I'd recommend getting yourself over to Bude for the CBR (See Events section)

There'll be lots of people there to talk it over with

fill the ruts in with some rubble/stone then you wont have to worry about the 1%
joking aside, you would have to fit something like a tkc or a k60 scout to see any improvement on poor surfaces,these would not be a good choice for the bulk of your riding

Heidenau K60's would be the one's I'd recommend. Great all round tyre and will last twice the mileage of a tourance.

Not so good on good tarmac obviously but for a mixture of conditions they are excellent. Will last a good deal longer than the TKC as well because they are as hard as nails
