I've been to England and Wales, but never to Scotland—much to my great disappointment. 
But that's the only thing I can add to the above dialogue.

I've been riding the Pro 4 Comp for most of the summer, but just recently had to switch back to the Pro 4 Endurance after multiple rear flats. The Pro 4 feel great, but they are what they are: not as durable as the Endurance. Another point of interest is sizing. I get the impression that most people tend to go for the 25c, believing there is some endurance advantage with a the wider size. But I greatly prefer the 23c for overall handling, and have not noticed any disadvantage to using the narrow size.

stutue said:Would thoroughly recommend avoiding all main roads and adding more miles. Otherwise its pointless. We met people who had taken A roads all the way, including the A30 from Exeter (its a motorway in all but name).

avanti said:Looking briefly on the internet it appears that Krylions are still available at least in the USA (unless suppliers websites are way out of date). See here for performance for example

Granville57 said:Two questions:
1) Do they say, "Made in France"?
2) How much do you want for them?![]()
Granville57 said:Oh hell. Now this thread has been all carved up because stutue has been banned and, apparently, all his posts deleted.
(Of course he was a returning sock puppet, no surprise there, but his contributions on the tech side of things were worthwhile).
Ah, the internet...
King Boonen said:I was a bit worried about slippyness, they seem quite hard, that's why I'm leaning more towards the four seasons or gp4000s. How do they compare to duranos?
avanti said:Winter tires - the choice depends on the climate where you live. Where I live it snows during the winter but the snow dries up in 24 hours (except for shaded areas). My problem is that the roads get a coating of sand over the snow which is left behind when the snow dries up and makes the road slippery, especially on corners. I recently bought Maxxis Re-Fuse tires (700x 25) to try them out for the coming winter based on thread and weight.
Archibald said:for winter, 4seasons over the 4000s. 4000s puncture too often and not nearly robust enough...
