IMPACT OF TYRE SELECTION
Choosing the right tyre for your wheel is critical. Aerodynamics Lab wheelsets are optimised for running with a wider tyre, offering a number of performance benefits.
SMOOTHER RIDE
Wider tyres can be run at a lower pressure. The resulting reduction in micro-vibrations from the cushioning effect will reduce rider fatigue over time.
TYRE SENSITIVITY
Aerodynamics Lab wheelsets are optimised for running with a 28mm tyre. However, as rim depth increases, the impact of running an even wider (30mm) tyre reduces
Our rear Disc wheel is actually marginally faster with a 30mm tyre so it can be run without risk of any aerodynamic penalty.
AERODYNAMIC PERFORMANCE
We also benchmark the aerodynamic and rolling resistance performance of many of the leading tyre brands.
