after ANOTHER puncture this morning I've just swapped my old knackered hybrid tyres for a pair of specialized armadillo ones and I am so impressed with them. a wet ride back home and they were great. felt like a lower rolling resistance than the old ones to me and they were rock solid round the corners without the squirmy feeling when I hit the knobbles on my hybrids.

What tyres are the other commuters using on there bikes?
oh and the red side walls look good as well.

on another note it was light enough to ride to work without really needing my lights as well :D

a friend of mine who is into bikes hell of a lot (at any one time can own about 10k of bikes) reccomended me these for commuting:

well I got the joy of snow on the way in this morning and the new tyres stuck like glue again :D the specialised ones were just under £50 a pair as well btw

I'm hoping that the kavlar bits in them should stop those annoying punctures that I seem to get all the time.
