Touring on s23's ?

[dransy]

Got a trip to France coming up about 9 days touring . I stuck some s23's on last year probably done about 500miles or so on them.

Any advice if they would last the trip or should I put some more touring focused tyre on ? If I should change them , any recommendations?

Depends how many miles you are going to do. I'd say 500 mile old tyres ought to be fine for 9 days of touring, but if you're doing solid 400 mile days every day then maybe not? Personally I aim for maximum of 200 mile days with most of the days being 150 miles or less.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

Just change them out there if you need to to?
