    How are they for coming off ? The various reinforced tires I’ve tried (randoneur, gator, 25mm) are really hard to put back on. Like you peel the skin off your hands trying. I’ve notice that most tires, even cheaper ones, don’t give you trouble for the first 500 miles. So have gone back to a medium grade tire that doesn’t require special tools to replace.

      I dont know, I have never had to replace one, so never had to take one off. The one time I ever had one fail was when I hit a piece of timber with multiple nails in it, and I got my local bike shop to swap it. Tyre was already over ten years old at that point, and given I ride somewhere between 200 and 600kms a month probably had well over 10,000 kms on it
