All the rental bikes are just low end road tires (slicks sanded down). And im 195lbs btw!

But no, your touring tires or CX tires are not going to work out
are there any track tires/slicks that are also ok for road use? my bike will mostly be used for the road, but i would like to have something that would be ok for the track (new velodrome in milton) when it opens...if it ever opens to the public. i cant afford 2 seperate sets of tires at the moment.

i was looking into getting a pair of conti gp 4 seasons 25c
