Road bike tire reviews

The biggest category on restoration.bike is dedicated to road bike tires. With a classic size of 700C or 28 inch, they’ve been around for decades and come in traditional tire widths of 23, 25, and 28 mm.

Road bike tires are not only used on road bikes, but are also a great option to create a fast commuter, or touring bike. Furthermore the range or requirements for each user differ. Some cyclists are simply looking for a set of budget road bike tires, while others want the best tires you can find with respect to puncture resistance.

All aforementioned categories are featured, including tubular tires, an article about the lightest road bike tires, tan-wall options for classic or vintage road bikes, and all-season options for wet conditions. You name it we’ve got a dedicated blogpost for you.
