show me your slick/road tyres

I prefer Hutchinson TopSlick Airlight. As narrow as a road tire, lightweight and extremely fast.
Not very comfortable though... :p

I've always liked Michelin Wildgripper sprints, but they're becoming increasingly rare.

Got a pair of black with amberwalls at the moment, but selling them as I have a pair of green ones on the way.

Conti Sport Contacts in the 1.6 flavour and pumped up to 5 bar. Steel beads were a bit of a struggle to get on the rim, they ride pretty harsh but they're damn fast and light.
I slipstreamed a Mondeo at 40.4 mph the other day. The poor fella's expression in his rear view mirror was priceless!
Might be fun in the rain :shock:

I wondered how far I would need to read before someone mentioned these! I have these in 1.3 flavour. As pointed out, they provide a pretty firm and unforgiving ride, but are fast as greased lightning and provide pretty good grip... in the dry!! IMO, I think they also look the nuts (pics in the link in my signature)

The steel beads are, as also mentioned, pretty tough and put up quite a resistance to being fitted, but then I eat lots of spinach ;)
 
:cool: Sports contact continental superb :cool: ... use them everyday..but you cant push to much in the wet/damp..it could end in tears ;)

Specialized Fatboys are great, but the Schwalbe Fat Franks (pic before I finished the Al-Mega) are damn nice when you've got streets full of potholes and cracks.

Heres a vote for Hutchinson Top Slick 2 (the decals matched the build perfectly)
