Wheel Replacement

    Hi guys,
    I've posted here a couple of times and everyone has always been very helpful so Ill ask for some assistance again.

    I got my gf a Dawes 300 (2008) about 2 yrs ago surprisingly :p and it has come time to seriously look at her wheels/tyres/tube setup. Its come to a point where she has replaced a tube or repaired one at least once every 2 weeks, the frame of the wheel is slightly off, I wont say buckled. (thank you state of Irish roads).

    SO basically I am in the market for v good wheel/trame/tube setup. She cycles everywhere at least 25km a day on Dublin roads in all types of weather and would like to stick with the racer type of tyres combining as much resilience and toughness with light weight as possible. Both front and back.

    Budget wise I am open to low to high as long as they work.

    25klm per day for two years and she only needs tyres now?...replace them with the same again as thats not bad going.

    ok let me rephrase that last one almost 25km MOST days, either way.. the ones that she has are the ones came with the bike and I was hoping to try and get decent ones also preferably red, so recommendations of make models are still appreciated but thank you 07Lapierre
