Specialized All Condition Armadillo Elite (£34.99)
Billed as perfect tyre for British conditions, Specialized offer their All Condition Armadillo Elite tyres between 23-32mm.
Because of the size, and the Armadillo puncture protection, the 32mm versions come in at a genuinely heavyweight 430g per tyre, but will keep rolling through almost anything the elements throw their way and the new tread pattern is designed to help them do just that. They’re designed for durability, rather than all-out speed, plus Specialized say the 32s can be run at 85psi so you should get maximum comfort out of your ride.
The puncture protection covers the tyre from bead to bead, but Specialized have tried to maintain road feel and lower rolling resistance by using their Gripton compound which also claims better grip on wet surfaces. Spesh have also gone with a dual compound for these, with a hard wearing section on the top and grippier sides for confidence in the corners.
