Racing Bike Tyres 700x25c - Pair Slick Tires 25-622 with 3 mm Nylon Protection, 60 TPI, Specialized for Race, Gravel, Carrera, Road and Touring Bicycles - Pack of 2x 28 inch

Been running my road bike with Continental Gatorskin tyres for the last year or so. They were difficult to install and remove but rated as puncture resistant but suffered more punctures then I care to count.Early days with the Fincci tyres but have clocked up a humble18 Miles on a mix road (inc potholes and ironworks), pristine cycle paths and also less perfect paths (also has a stretch over a type 1 gravel footpath near roadworks). So far so good.Minimal rolling resistance, good sticky feel to the rubber giving confidence on fast corners and braking and a good price for the pair.Easily fitted with no struggles (or swearing). Fingers crossed they stay the distance and don’t let me down like the Gators did (had a number of long walks in cleats!).UPDATE Aug 20202 months further along and still rolling!UPDATE June 2022Many more miles clocked up, still covering a mix of surfaces and no issues since installing these tyres!Highly recommend and when my daughters road tyres are ready for changing I will be putting these tyres on!

(I changed to 25 from my old 23 Michelin Tyres)

Well worth the money

I’ve used these tyres on a heavy 2013 Specialized Allez that I use for commuting the short distance to work and occasionally for longer rides.The tyres have done around 800km between September and June, on the road, and the durability has generally been good. The tread is still quite deep on the edges of the tyre and I’ve had no flats at all.Recently through, the front tyre has started to split down the centre (see photo) exposing the anti-puncture layer slightly. The back tyre is still perfectly fine.I’ll have to replace it to be safe, but generally, in terms of overall value for money, they seem decent enough.

First of all £22 for a steel bead tyres isn’t exactly value for money, but I still took a punt on these. Unpacking them I noticed there was excess rubber from the moulding process still on the bead and tread. This gives them a low quality feel.Other than that, they went on well and size is as stated. The tyres feel grippy and the ride quality is better than expected given that the casing feels pretty inflexible. They also feel reasonably quick though they’re pretty heavy.UPDATE: These tyres are still going strong, commuting an avg of 200km/week. Absolutely no punctures despite most cycle paths being strewn with broken glass.

All good would bye again if needed

I’ve had nothing but bother on one of a pair of these tyres I bought them last October but didn’t use my road bike until March. I’ve been out 4 times and had 4 slow punctures. With 4 brand new inner tubes I’m not nipping them as only using my hands to get the tyre on. No signs of anything sharp on rim or inner tyre. It is obviously nipping the tube somehow. The tyre is very hard and just doesn’t feel right while riding. I’ll be replacing it.

I bought a pair of these in September 2021. Like others I usually buy Continentals but these were quite a bit cheaper. I've done about 6000 miles on them since then and only recently (this week) have I suffered a puncture. There are a couple of small green areas coming through on the tyres where the inner protection is exposed but I think I have got my money's worth out of them...!
