Re: [ez3-usx] Re: What are the Best Tires?

Well it sounds like it is all about comfort and reliability for you. The main thing is that you have fun and stay safe while you ride. Ultimately, your own conditioning will determine speed and distance. You would be surprised how little the rest odes or doesn't do for you in terms of speed. With a lighter vehicle with high pressure tires you can generally feel a little bit better with maybe slightly higher average speed and better performance on the hills. Keep riding.

I'm a large guy so I went for a wheel and tire combo that can hold me and last. I have velocity aeroheat wheels with marathon plus tires (I forget who makes marathon)

Hi Mike,

Can I ask what you have found is your gain in speed (in MPH)?

I have put "Big Apples" on my trike, because the bigger balloon tires cushion the ride a lot more, but I give up about 2 mph, for that comfort. I what everyone... 		Bob

Hi Everyone,    I prefer the Schawble Stelevo's, they are very light for speed (220g), they don't get flat (2700 miles, no flats). They also last a long time...
