Big fan of Challenge handmade TLR tires for gravel and CX so tried this for road. Very fast and comfortable in 32mm. Very nice!
The first generation of these Strada PRO TLR tires delivered a perfect ride, but living with them was miserable. Mounting was extremely difficult, they didn't hold air, they drank sealant, and raised your blood pressure.
I am thrilled to report that the folks at Challenge have preserved the perfect ride quality and excellent looks of the first generation and packaged it in a tire that behaves like.....a tire!! They now do incredible things like:
' Go over a rim edge with only one's thumbs
' Seat with a floor pump
' Hold air overnight
' Hold air for many days after that
' Require only a normal amount of sealant to continue holding air
' Keep the owner's blood pressure at healthy levels
I purchased the 28mm variety which inflate just shy of 30mm wide on 21mm internal rims. I now strongly recommend these tires.
