I've been reading reviews and still cannot decide which tire I want to try next. This will be my first experience buying new tires. My criteria was 1. price ($35 or less) 2. performance (rolling resistance and sticking in the turns) and 3. durability.
After reading the reviews, I realize I should also consider ride quality. Is this different than rolling resistance and sticking? From the reviews, it seems as if some tires absorb vibration and bumps more than others. Correct me if I'm wrong.
I ride for fitness and fun. No racing. Distance of 20-60 miles. Sometimes use the trainer, but it will be warm soon and most riding will be outdoors.
And what about kevlar vs. wire bead? What's the deal with that? Should I even worry about that?
I would appreciate any input and/or recommendations.
Thanks in advance!
