What's your favourite road tyre of all time?

[Canuk]

Contis get my vote, for high milers they're great, some of the tyres had flimsy sidewalls though which could explode with a nice but if violence!

Michelin Hi Lites were a great supple ride also, but again, sidewalls... About as close to a fast tubular as you could get.

Like nob says, there is nothing like number 3 setas. I doubt many on here will ever get the chance now sadly….

18mm tyres... Happy (and uncomfortable) days!

Ones I have look a little wider than that….

Schwalbe marathon supreme. Sadly missed! Light, fast rolling, volume for comfort...

And ive just fitted my last pair!

The new "green" version is pants btw...

Vredestein Fortezza Tricomp 23mm in any of the jazzy colours they made.

Vittoria Open Pave Evo if I was trying to pass myself off as some kind of classics hardman (actually mate you've just put on a few pounds and look like a carthorse).

Just found a pair NOS I picked up for next to nowt. I’m quite tempted to put them on some light 28 spoke record wheels and give them a blast if I can find a lovely smooth road….

Excellent & great find - Usk Monmouth road still has a great surface as road mine on there in the 80’s on the R25/7 course one of my favorites as went under the hour on several occasions on there.
