Bicycles Tires – Summary of my experience
Aushiker | January 16, 2010 11:00 pmThe topic of tires and tyre choice comes up frequently in the Australian Cycling Forums and it occurred to me that a summary page would be a good way to share my experiences, hence this post. I have decided to sort the tires by brand rather than by bike. Hopefully this makes it easy to see how they have performed.
