Tyre
1st Choice) Michelin Pro4 Comp V2 Clincher Tyre
2nd Choice) Michelin Pro4 Service Course V2 Clincher Tyre
3rd Choice) Continental Grand Prix 4000S II Clincher Tyre

Tyre Pressure
Sunny day
Front - 96psi
Rear - 106psi 


$60.58 Michelin Pro4 Service Course V2 Clincher Tyre Twin Pack with Free Puncture Repair Kit - Black - 700 x 23c-Bicycle Tyres 
$64.32 Michelin Pro4 Comp V2 Clincher Road Tyre Twin Pack with 2 Free Tubes - Black - 700 x 23c-Bicycle Tyres 


Only difference is the TPI casting
Pro4 Service Course V2 - 110 tpi
Pro4 Comp V2 - 150 tpi - higher the better, 


  • A low level of rolling resistance thanks a 30% lighter casing (150 tpi instead of 110 tpi). This makes it possible to strongly limit the deformations of the casing during rolling and thus limit the loss of energy 
  • A weight Saving of 10% (180g) compared to MICHELIN PRO4 Service Course (200g)

Note:  On Shimano-Sram cassette bodies (they are one in the same) you will need a spacer if using it with a 9 speed cassette (which is included in the spoke package), for a 10 speed cassette (which is narrower than a 9 speed) you will need the included spacer and the one that came with your cassette.  If your cassette doesn't have one you can get them at any bike shop.  They are 1 mm wide.
Skewers
Skewers weight 46 grams front 50 grams rear.
Rim Strips
Black nylon.  If you are going tubeless you need to buy the Stan's rims strips.  These will not work for tubeless applications.
  
Tire Recommendations
With the wider rims, you can use pretty much any tire width you want - from 19 mm all the way up to over 30 mm.  I like 25 mm wide tires simply because they hold more air and are more comfortable.  23 mm tires are probably the fastest and are the most aerodynamic.  As you get bigger tires, the limiting factor is the frame.  Typically the tires will first rub on either the brakes (on the top of the tire) or with the rear tire hitting the seat tube.  Most road bikes will fit up to 25 mm tires, a few bigger ones, and many won't even fit a 25 mm tire.
