Looking to replace factory default tires

Submitted by mhsimkin on Tue, 12/12/2017 - 8:38pm

I'm looking to replace the factory default tires on my bikes. I welcome suggestions as to what I should get.

One bike has Bontrager R1 Hard-Case Lite, 700x25c.  The other bike has Michelin Dynamic Sport, 700x28c.

I'm not a racer.  If I ride 1,000 miles between both bikes in a year, I would be happy. I ride for exercise and enjoyment. therefore I'm willing to trade weight/speed/rolling resistance for durability/handling.

I'm hoping to me more active next year.

Thanks

I am thinking about a new bike.  Should I be concerned about the durability of a carbon frame?  Looking for advice.
