they pair nicely with yellow

 

[the truth.]

your nearly right. wrong end of vittoria's tyre line

the 'rubino' 700 by 23 is the ultimate puncture proof winter rubber.
$12!!!!!

14 of us road the 25mm version at Flanders last year and not 1 puncture

It was a decision in which I had no choice. My bike told me so.

No other tire matters.

So do I! But, my definition of "winter" is a bit different than yours.

I live in Northern New England, Maine.

I can relate

These Kendas are the current fall/winter/spring choice for me on the cross bike. The Nokians only see action on the really snowy/icy days as they give considerably more rolling resistance.

nice tyres although in my experience the sidewalls are too flimsy and subject to cutting. tried them and loved them but ditched them based on longevity (or lack of) and value.

my winter tyres are conti 4 season duraskin 25's. light, tough and super grippy. god knows what their engineers put in the rubber but in works! perfect for northern european winters.

the pavè tubulars are very effective, but for coming winter I will try the FMB paris-roubaix. these are the tubulars used by Tom Boonen.
we will see...

Well, they say 4 season, so a 28c is my year round rear tire in Miami. I have over 3,000 miles on the one I'm currently riding and expect to get 1,500 to 2,000 more. I can only fit a 25 on the front so I'm riding a gp 4000.

I guess it's fall. Today it was around 85 degrees F. The coldest it ever gets here is high 40's and that's cold. Usual winter weather is like 65 to 75 degrees.

I like a lot of air and at 175lbs, I get a silky ride at 85 to 90psi.

Ha! Miami winters must be rough. You have 2 seasons, warm and warmer. Try riding in -30F windchill with ice all over the roads!

You're right, actually it's dry season and rainy season, but yeah, winters are nice. I rode on Long Island last December and it was in the low 30's a couple of days. Not bad except you have to protect the toes, the hands and the head,face, ears.

-30 windchill is life threatening, especially with the ice. Jeez, yeah, you're crazy.
