If you are like me and ride everyday on a classic bike fitted with 27" wheels what tyres do you now use? I have just worn out my last pair of Michelin Zig Zags. Have replaced them with some Vietnamese specials. These might be alright on a rickshaw but they are next to useless on a bike in the bleeding wet. Have been told to try and get hold of some Continental Super Sports which are something akin to the old Dunlop Road Racer's. Anyone had any experience of these and what are they like in the p-----g rain.

Best wishes and be lucky. Michael Butler Huntingdon UK.
