    Looking for a decent tyre at a decent price
    can you recommend any 700x25
    I'm on the heavy side so dont want to go to 23s yet
    I wouldn't mind blue ones for a bit of bling:cool: but they seem hard to get in 25s
    Don't want to bust the bank either

    I have been using Maxxis Columbiere all winter which I am very happy with. They are quite a racy tyre with a good road feel and good grip, just bear in mind they would have the puncture protection associated with a race tyre, e.g. OK but not as good as something like a Gatorskin. I also have a stock of Schwalbe Stelvios in 700x25c but have not needed to put these on yet, they will be going on whenever the Maxxis need replacing.

    What I use;

    Conti GP 4000 S 700x23c for weekend bike having fun. Better performance and more likely to puncture.

    Conti Gatorskins 700x25c for weekday bike doing a commute. Worse performance and less likely to puncture.

    Hope that helps.

    Worth bearing in mind you can get GP4000S in 700x25. Only reason I don't have that (or Schwalbe Ultremos) it is the Columbieres and Stelvios were cheaper.
