Tires NANKANG or KENDA
Avoid budget tyres but mid range tyres like Nankang etc would be more than enough on a C1.
Been riding the Kenda Small Block 8 without any problems lately, though I don't live in the "glassy" part of Berlin.
I doubt anyone will thumbs up this since they’re cheap tires, but the Kenda Kwik Tendrils I have (26x1.75) I really like for city riding. Folding bead, fairly supple, never had a flat in over 100 city commute miles.
Nankang CRS hands down. The only good thing I’ve ever heard about Toyos in the past decade is that they come in a lot of sizes.
Kenda Klever RTs. I've never been so happy with a tire. I also ran Terra Grappler G2s that seemed to do well.
I run Kendra honey badger 2.05” wide so my fully ridged xc carbon bike. They’re great all round tyres. Get a bit slippy on the sloppy!
I ran some a few years ago. The road noise was pretty bad though.
NS2 review: I've never been able to get them balanced properly and they're loud. Even forced balanced on brand new wheels, I got highway vibrations. That said, they're inexpensive, last decently long for the price, handle water extremely well and they stretch nicely. They handle water better than falken 512's, 452's and hankook v12 evo's. I've had 4 sets and I've never had a bubble or other failure.
I had nankang before. Stupid loud and didn't last long at all.
Expect lots of ***-***-*** noise as they wear. The NS2 on one of my previous cars got so loud that it became unbearable.
