Tyre testing - your help please!
🕑 Added 2023-05-23 08:56:52 +0000 UTC
Hi all guys and girls. I am starting a big tyre testing series to find the fastest tyre outdoors, similar to bicyclerollingresistance.com but real world testing using the CdA sensor. If CdA is kept constant, then changes in tyres and pressures will show up as a Crr change. I will be doing 28mm and 32mm.
So far I have in mind to source and test:
1. Conti 5k
2. Conti 5k TR
3. Vittoria Corsa Speed (or pro depending on availibility)
4. Michelin Power
5. Pirelli
6. Some budget options
Are there any other popular tyres I have forgotten?
Cheers! Alex

Challenge don’t want to know about any issues. These are the highest maintenance tyres I’ve ever had. Yes, they are quick and comfy but totally not worth the cost and maintenance overhead. Not a fit and forget tyre. I’ll be rinsing them in IG soon.
Don’t bother with the Challenges. POS. Hard to fit, don’t stay up, needed 70ml of sealant each to seal for a short time (sealant leaked from bead and sidewalls), the rear has punctured after less than 200 miles (tread has started to come away from the carcass) and apparently if you ride them in the sun/day they discolour from white to yellow.
