One man's meat is another man's poison. You'll get as many options thrown at you as there are days in the year when asking for tyre advice, and you'll probably end up more confused than before!

As has been said, for many years folk have been chasing the holy grail of a true "do it all" tyre. The simple answer is there isn't one! I've tried 10+ different tyre brands on my Ten and I'm still not sure what's best!

In order to make an informed choice (for yourself) what you've got to do is look at the list above that Pepsi has kindly put together and rank the characteristics from most desired to least. From that you should be able to work out what you need, or at least you'll have a better idea and we might be able to guide you more usefully?

For example if mileage is important to you a TKC80, great tyre that it is, won't be your cup of tea.

Have a go. Rank Pepsi's list, post it here and we'll see if we can all help you find what tyre best fits (and it will be a "best fit", not a definitive answer!)
