Everyday tarmac riding - What tyres to get??
« on: October 04, 2009, 04:32 PM »
Newbie with, well, a Newbie question.

Ride a DK General Lee everyday to work but would like to change the tyres for something a little more tarmac friendly than the dirt tyres on it already.

Any suggestions that aren't going to cost the earth? (20x1.95)

Thanks in advance.

Neil.

Cheers Glen,

think I'll go with a pair of FIT FAF's  :)

Also found a pair of Kenda Karrumba tyres for sale. These any good or should I stay well away?

I am a massive fan of FIT but I gotta tell you this, I fitted a set of kevlar FAF's before a little road trip in the summer, at the end of a few days riding concrete the rear was worn out and tyres usally last me ages, I was disapointed.
Odyssey Path steel bead or good old Primo V-monster are great on a budget,tenner each if you look hard enough.

I'm in agreement with you on the Fit FAF's, Liam wore out a rear in about three weeks...  :(

His KHE's lasted way longer!

I'm running the odyssey tan-wall paths, and they seem pretty good at taking on the rough tarmac without disappearing.
