Hybrid Tire Suggestions

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

Anybody have a recommendation of a hybrid road tire? We have many trails here in Wisconsin that are stretches of pavement and then crushed limestone. You can go sometimes 20 miles on pavement and another 50 on a finely crushed limestone. The limestone can be a little loose but I don't want to be losing performance by riding on knobs on the pavement.

Thanks in advance!

Look at Shwalbe and Continental brands as they both have quality tyres that will suit.

Have been riding 12000+kms on all types of roads all over
Europe without a puncture.
cheers :)

Thanks for the suggestions. The Shwalbe Matathon looks interesting. It has pretty good bite on fine gravel? Not expecting to have to make drastic turns and stops as most of it follows old rail line and I shouldn't be going more than 12mph but I guess at times they get some washouts that I would have to avoid.

Never had problems fully loaded on fine gravel.
