TomN Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 I'm using a White Tiger at the moment, find it good for punture resisitance, grip is good, not sure about wear rate yet as I haven't had it long about 3 months. Only Tioga tyre I trust. Not too heavy aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Cook Posted May 7, 2005 Report Share Posted May 7, 2005 I think that the high rollers would be the best. They are good for all sorts of riding. There very grippy and long lasting. Go for them (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kerley Posted May 8, 2005 Report Share Posted May 8, 2005 i thought michelin comp 24's only came in 26". if they do come in 24" surely the 24" riders would be using them??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
