    Hi everyone !

    I’m Clement, french student & cyclist for many years. As part of my studies, I’m carrying out a survey to know how do you choose and purchase your bike tyres. So I’ve made a REALLY short survey (only 12 questions) less than 2 min.

    I’m open to all your constructive remarks and opinions 😉
    Thanks a lot for your contribution and the short time spent to help me !

    So put ‘Yes’ then.

    I hope you get the data you need, Clement. It’s a nice change to see a student survey that’s short and focused!

    Suppleness and TPI aren’t the same, for the reasons in velovoice’s link.
    Suppleness is a deciding factor though, and you can have a supple and tough tyre as well.

    TPI should not be the deciding factor. Here’s why (written by engineer Jan Heine, one of the world’s foremost experts on tyre construction and performance):

    +1 for TPI I run Vittoria Open Pave (if I can afford it) and they don’t really fit your metric of toughness.

    Filled in though!

    Just did this, suppleness (TPI) is an important factor for me when choosing road bike tyres but wasn’t an option.
