Maxxis Detonator
Best durable training tire for daily road commuters.
This is the ultimate workhorse for riders who refuse to swap tires between seasons. It trades the weight savings of a pure race slick for a rugged, puncture-resistant casing that handles winter grit and summer miles with equal composure. You get a reliable, grippy ride that simply refuses to quit.
