DURABILITY:
It depends on:
• Ability of the rubber mix to resist wear
• Ability of the casing to resist breakdown
• The resistance of the tire to the environment (ozone)
• The riding style of the cyclist
• Use of the appropriate air pressure
• The type of road aggregate
• The type of terrain: hilly or flat
For the same tire, its lifespan can vary by up to 300%, depending on the user
and the terrain.
LIGHTNESS:
It depends on:
• The diameter of threads in the casing: the finer the thread is, the lighter the
casing
• The nature of the beads: flexible beads are lighter than rigid beads
• the absence of anti-puncture reinforcement
• The thickness of the tread
