    Having just taken delivery of my new Bianchi Via Nirone 7, I’m now considering ‘making it my own’. I’ve ridden it once, on the factory-fitted Vittoria Zaffiro Slick 700×25 tyres, but would welcome advice on them. Are they any good? Worth keeping? Should I buy alternatives and, if so, what?

    Thanks, guys. I’ve heard good
    Thanks, guys. I’ve heard good things about the Michelins. Will look into the other two now. Ive just upgraded the saddle, so weighing up whether I can stretch to tyres too, this side of payday.

    Michelin krylion carbon in 25s get my vote

    I suppose you should consider what you’ll be doing on the bike and how much you dislike punctures. I don’t race and really dislike punctures so have the Michelins on in the winter. Having said that I’ll probably have vittoria rubino pros on for the summer give a bit more grip and comfort and still have reasonable puncture resistance

    Schwalbe Utremo ZX do it for
    Schwalbe Utremo ZX do it for us, unless you ride on perfectly smooth roads (are there any in the UK?) I would recommend 25mm tyres, a wider tyre rolls better over the bumps and will give a smoother quicker ride than the 23s, ansd dont over inflate them!

    You could hold on to the 25mm
    You could hold on to the 25mm for winter use and change to a 23mm tyre for a bit of added zip.
    Tried loads but Hutchinson Fusions are by far the best tyres i’ve used and now don’t use much else.
