Hello everyone,
I just bought this tire 700x42c to replace Schwalbe Road Cruiser 700x40c. Let me know if you have experience with this one. I rode Schwalbe tires but since they were not available in a local shop, I went with this. BTW, is 30€ good price? I use my bicycle for commuting mostly.

They are pretty solid and flat resistant. Great commuters.
I rode a set of these in 700×37 for about two years on my commuter (until it was stolen). Zero flats in 3000 miles (I live in New Orleans, which has incredibly bad roads full of glass/debris) and the tires wore incredibly well. The rear was at maybe 60% life and the front had hardly any wear at all.
Disappointing that Bicycle Rolling Resistance still hasn’t tested these. Felt way faster than the 28c Gatorskins I was using, and the ride was noticeably better, though that may be that the Contacts were 37c.
Anyone have any info on how these stack up against the Contact Urban?
