I have settled on Conti
I have settled on Conti GP4000S’s after trying most of the competition in the past.
They are fairly hard wearing, pretty robust and don’t do the P-word too easily (I didn’t say it so please forgive me!), and roll really well.
I used to like Michelin Pro’s which I think do roll slightly better, but they used to get cut to bits all the time. I never wore a pair out, they would get too damaged to ride before then.
I have managed to wear a few pairs of Conti’s out, and you do get good mileages from them, a guesstimate would say I get around 4K miles from a rear tyre.
