This question has probably been posed before but I thought I would ask anyway. I am having real problems cutting the sidewalls of my tires. I have cut Schwalbe Ultremo ZX, Michelin ProRace3, Specialized Turbo, Mondo, and All Condition. I have had Conti GP 4000 S which I think did a bit better, but I think I cut those too. In fact, it is hard to remember all of the tires I have cut. I ride the same roads as Xela and he gets thousands of miles on tires. If I get 3 months (700 to 1000 miles) that's a long time for me.
I am 6 1 or 2 and weight about 220. I was thinking of going with a 25C tire. An article on Bike Radar said rolling resistance on a 25C is less than 23C anyway. I know of the Continental Gatorskins and some others. I am reluctant to speed 65 bucks a tire unless I am absolutely sure the thing is gonna make it. Any other suggestions? Any thoughts on how much tire weight affects things? 23C v 25C? Thanks for any input.
