700 x 25 Tires?

Conti GP4S. Simply phenomenal tires that wear like iron, age like stone and grip like cleats.

Mine had threads around the bead come loose and peel off. No issues with the bead integrity though.

Yeah, the dura skin or whatever does like to shed spare threads. No impact on function or longevity in my use.

Continental Gatorskins. But remember that there is more then one type of Continental Gatorskins.

My best tires to date are Michelin Pro 4 Endurance. Ride, and handling are quite good. Also, I got so tired of flats from running at mfgs max inflation. I think Conti got it right. Using their recommended data, I'm 210 lbs, and I run 100 PSI front and rear on my Cannondale CAAD10.

You don't need to run the same pressure up front as the rear. Usually you can go about 5-10 psi lower up front. And it helps with comfort in your arms

I've run Gatorskins exclusively for 20+ years now, but some of that is because I don't race anymore and my mtb background means I'm never afraid of the shoulder, the gutter or dirt roads. I've been told Gatorskins suck in the wet but I RARELY ride in wet conditions. All I know is they're durable and I might flat once every 3 years -- still running tubes

I am actually going to try 700x28 tires soon. For the trails I was riding, 700x25 was too harsh.
