To me, the Nifty Swiftys are a bit harsh and heavy and the wire bead is harder to install and get fully round. If in a hurry to mount a tire, expect "thump, thump" as you ride. The Cypres are nicest to ride on in this group, but mileage seems to be about 2100 (with a position swap mid way). N-S last much longer and are more flat resistant. The Maxy Fasty has been a good compromise. Lighter, fiber bead, comfortable and reasonably flat resistant with good mileage.
The O.P. asked about 32 - 33 mm tires, but the G,B, Ourson is still around and that measures about 34 iirc. The tread of a Col de la Vie on a way better casing. I've had a pair on my Saluki since 2009 and had zero flats in thousands of miles. Right now, the smallest tires I am running are 37s, but I still have these on the shelf. The Soma tires are on the list to try someday, if I ever need another tire. Like some others here, I seem to have too many tires and not enough bikes. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
