Choosing Tyres
Hi guys,
I've just bought a set of Fulcrum Quattro's for my bike and have been looking at tyres for them. I've never upgraded the wheels before and so have never really looked for tyres!
I usually take part in sportives (roughly 150miles) and so need something durable, but of course I'd like something that would help with my speed too 
I'm considering the Continental GatorHardshell Folding Road Tyre, as it seems incredibly durable and not too sluggish but wanted to see what you guys think or whether you could offer alternatives.
Also, is there much difference between 23 and 25mm? I know that the 25mm is allegedly more comfortable and less racy, but does this make much real world difference?
Thanks, Ben

This was it in November 2022. Now you see the futility of reporting things to the police or DVLA

I would try these http://bit.ly/1xEU1RC
i don't think there are too many long term opinions on them..but initial reviews are great, they're quick, tough and available in 23..25..28

I'm around 800 miles in on the 28mm, great so far but too early to call them over others
