Tyre Question

    I've a set of Specialized Armadillo's - covered over 4000km and the back tyre is fairly worn, front is still perfect and time to change. I've heard good things about Schwable Marathon Plus or Continental Ultra Gatorskins. Bike is a hybrid bike used for commuting.

    What would be people's recommendations? Tyre size is 700x28c.

    Cheers

    I use gatorskins and I like them as i never get punctures but they are not great when roads are wet as have very little grip.

    Schwalbe Marathon Plus - I've over 10,000kms on a pair without a single puncture.

    (I check pressures daily and do inspections to remove glass, flint. etc.),

    Thanks for the replies :)

    I think I'll go with the Schwable's as they will be handy in all weather conditions.
