It has a round profile with lots of air. It can be
pumped to 120 psi, so rolling resistance (as far as I

27 mm they offers a smoother ride and more pinch flat
protection. They seem to last a long time, although I
haven't kept records. They're not cheap, though.

Mike, I tried Conti 3000, based on some erroneous web info, on my travel bike. I didn't think they looked tough and they weren't, as I had heard Contis have...
