  1. The answer to this ultimately depends on the type of riding that you do. A large pro to a thinner tyre is speed. My hybrid has 700 X 27. This is my go to bike if I am travelling and not sure what type of trails / pathways are available to ride when I arrive. I ride this year round to work in Indiana (USA) A con for the narrow tyre could be ride quality, a wider tire typically uses less air pressure and gives you more surface area on the road = smoother, more comfortable ride but takes more effort to move.


  2. tire look at spelling sorry dont me to spam nut thats all i have to say

  3. It really depends and on where you ride. If you're not a fast, competitive rider and you mostly ride in town, you can also consider slightly larger, yet slick in the middle tires. The sides have some grip to keep you from falling when turning in sand or loose gravel while the slick part will ride fast.
