Death of a continental

I don't use tyres with "Light" in the name..

Fastest tyres = generally least p_nct_re resistance. Deal with it and hire a team car to follow you around or use a slightly heavier tyre. It's not like you're racing anyway.

It's just taking a while to convince the GF to drive the Volvo along behind me whenever I go out for a ride.

So- can we home in on best compromise recommendation?

Vittoria Corsa CX from Andyp, Veloflex Black from Steff, what do you nominate Hippy?
