Okay gang I just purchased a 05 (new) Cannondale R5000. It comes with Hutchinson Fusion foldable tires which reading some of the reviews there is a reliability question for training.

I live in mid Missouri with lots of chip sealed roads around me. Can I please get some help with tire and tube selection that will be reliable (low flats) but still fast.

When I pick the bike up next week (waiting on a stem and seat post swap out) I will post the pics of my new baby.

I'd say ride the tires and see what you think. Experiences w/ tires are based on road conditions, the way a rider rides, luck.......so one person's experience won't necessarily match someone else's with the same tire.

Also what tire is best is dependent on what kind of riding you do.
