Be careful with these. They tend to get a little squirly in my experience. I've come off my fixie in the rain a couple of times in wet weather. The four seasons are grippier ... and I think more expensive. On the plus side I've had like one or two punctures since fitting them a couple years ago. Mine are 23mms.
Yeah I've noticed that already. I've had the rear wheel slide a few times. Just having tho remember I've got these tires on the bike and they don't behave like the 4 seasons which have crazy grip
yeah had that already too! Went down a hill on Saturday morning pedalling hard and over some rumble strips, the back wheel was sliding from side to side, never experienced that before on S-Works Turbo or Continental Grand Prix 4000's !
yeah its a pretty quick bike. Commute is 30km round trip, so it all helps!
I was using Conti 4-seasons 25c but they were getting cut to pieces and 1-2 punctures a week commuting, London streets are such a mess.
The Hardshell are heavier and less grippy in the wet, but seem to shrug off the punctures
From commuter point of view reliability and durability is crucial, it matters more to me that good grip. I nearly lost my job having punctures every week on some light Schwalbe Marathons but moved to Conti SuperSport Plus 23c on the summer bike (bit heavy but super robust) and had just one odd puncture in over 3k km. My winter ride is now getting a pair of Gatorskin 28c, which I think is pretty much like the Harsdhell on yours.
