Wiggle commuter tyres

Post by Jamesh »

Brought a pair of wiggle 32mm lifelines Kevlar commuter tyres.

For £11 each they seem good quality Kevlar bead and breaker weight 480gms so a bit of weight to them.

If wiggle training and race tyres are anything to go by they will be bomb proof.

I've got a pair of these and although the puncture protection os good I found the grip level to be lower than the tyre it replaced. Luckily for me the loss of traction has been when I've been slowing down in a straight line.

I went out last night and was expecting a real disappointing ride. But in actual fact there are quite good.
More confident in the wet and down hill.
Only marginally slower on the uphill.

I didn't notice any loss of traction.
If anything seemed more assured than 25mm tyres.
