tires

Posted by The Silverback on 23 Oct 2011

What is the best road tire for bike polo 700 x 23. I bought the eighth inch wheel set and the tires are shit. Any suggestions?

I agree- I got the same wheels and those tires were horrible.

I suggest you go bigger than 23 - you get way better cornering and are much less likely to fall over in a multitude of situations.

I also suggest you read some existing threads in the forums:

there are others but I'll let you find them.

I run Schwalbe Marathons, but perhaps more popular are RibMo's. I do recommend trying out some different cheaper tires to figure out what you like before dropping ~$100 on some deluxe tires.

Thanks for the input.

Just because I have a beard does not mean that I do not crush a lot.

They are baller ass polo tires, and general riding tires. I'm just too broke.
But really they don't cost that much more than a shit-class tire, and they are awesome.

You'll see. Unless you drilled out your eyes because they were too heavy.
