As the title says. I am currently running knobblies, but am finding myself doing a lot of riding on the road. Knowing nothing about slicks or semi-slicks I thought I would ask those that do.
Andy recommendations?
In reply to Andy Mountains:
Schwalbe Marathons have always worked well for me on roads. Long lasting and a good level of grip on the less well manicured cycle paths we have round Edinburgh.
In reply to Andy Mountains: Mr Kerr is right on this one Panaracer but I have used the Mach SS Semi-Slick Tyre for road, trail and at its limit the anaoch mor red downhill route>
+1 for Schwalbe Marathons. In the dry they're not as sticky as the WTBs that came on my bike, but they're harder wearing and don't get punctures. The performance in the wet is about the same as far as I can tell. In the snow and on grass the rear wheel slips more easily.
I went for Continental City Ride - I'm not a serious cyclist - just wanted better rolling tyres on one of my mtn bikes for riding out of the door to help general fitness, so didn't want to spend on owt fancy. These were a pair for £23 including delivery from Edinburgh Bicycle Co-op on line. Got 'em inside 2 days and they seem fine - just right for my purposes anyway.
These Nutrak slicks have been superb so far and the price per pair delivered from JMJ is excellent.
Usual - no connection other than satisfied customer.
