 Post subject: City X Tyres.........
PostPosted: 31 Oct 2012 09:30 
Morning all, Miss rebel has managed to wear out the stock tyres on her bike and is in need of some new ones, the question is what are the best ones for commuting? she doesn't push the bike to anywhere close to the limit so they don't need to be super sticky etc just good all rounders that last.....

I've been looking at a set of Conti Trail Attack, any good? just thought they'd work well for her looking at the reviews?...

I quite liked the MICHELIN PILOT ROAD 2 when I had my XB - they seemed to go for ever.

I used to run Bridgestone 021's on mine and they was fine for everything.

Set of Conti Trail Attack waiting to go on this next week (£200 for the pair), I'll be fitting them and scrubbing them up etc, I'll let you know what they're like (can't see a set going on the CR though!)
