I just picked up a pair of Hutchinson Fusion 2 Kevlars.. Im hoping I made the right decision.. I hate buying tires and saddles.. You never know what to expect..


So what kind of tires are your running on your road bike?

Cheap Nashbar black walls. My bikes have to stay outside during the day, and the sunlight takes its toll, so I don't want to waste expensive tires.

Also, it's getting harder and harder to find 27" tires.

Hell yeah! I like the colored ones. Too bad they don't make a celeste/black tire to match my Bianchis.

Michelin Lithion. Not the lightest, but cheap and durable.

Those look cool, but I think they're about 150g heavier per tire.

I've seen the red, blue, and yellow on the appropriate bikes and it adds a certain additional level of cool. If I ever get Campy Carbon G3 rims, red might look good with it.

Forte (a Performance Bike house brand) Kevlar clinchers. They haven't flatted in the five or six years or so I've been riding on them, and given the debris and other crap along the sides of the streets here, that impresses me.
