Everyday tarmac riding - What tyres to get??

(1/2) > >>

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.

 :) If it`s sensible priced and and durable,try Asda for some of the Bell branded Cheng Shins.. :daumenhoch:

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!
