Quality
Quality is without doubt one of the most important factors that we consider when buying bikes, parts, accessories or clothing. As you’d imagine it’s especially important when buying Tyres. Let’s take at a look at the sort of things you can look at when trying to ascertain the quality of LifeLine Prime Race Road Tyre.
The first thing is material. Looking at what LifeLine Prime Race Road Tyre is made of will give you a really good idea of the quality overall. Take a look at the specs above and you should be able to see the material. It’s then up to you to decide if it meets your expectation.
Similarly you’ll also want to spend some time looking at the features too. Again the table above, listing the features will give you a really good overview. However you should think about the sort of features that you’d expect when buying new Tyres. It’s worth writing a list of the “must-have” features so that you don’t end up compromising and missing some important features, or alternatively end up buying an unnecessarily high specced product.
There’s also a lot of merit in checking out the brand of the product and looking at the various brands that are selling Tyres. Brands like LifeLine are of courses extremely well respected in the cycling community so you know you’re getting a fantastic product with them. But if you’re undecided on your product you should write up a list of brands that you’d be happy to buy. It’s a great way of filtering and narrowing down the number of products when you’re searching.
Next up you’ll want to think about the price and use that as a guide to set your expectations of the quality. If you’re buying the cheapest of the options in the Tyres category you should probably expect it to not be of as good quality as the most expensive. It sounds obvious of course. But this is where you can get a bit clever and use your combination of features, specs, materials and other factors to work together to get a really good quality product at the best price. We often draw up a list of “must-haves” and use these as filters when shopping online so that you’re only seeing products that meet your criteria. You can then sort by Price>Low to get the best deals.
Comparing Prices
Price, as you would imagine, is the most popular reason for someone buying one product over another. It is the single most important factor in choosing the majority of products we buy. The same goes for Tyres.
It’s at this stage of the buying process, when you’re looking at different options, that you should set a budget. Do some research to understand how much roughly you can expect to pay for the sort of level of product that you’re looking for. Then match that to your own personal circumstance and how much you can afford to spend. This will really help you in narrowing down the right product for you.

LifeLine Prime Race Road Tyre Reviews
Reading reviews is an amazing way of getting a good feel for a product without actually being able to try it or see it first.
There are two different types of reviews, and we also recommend reading both.
1. Expert reviews – In the cycle industry there are loads of really reliable trusted resources for expert reviews. For example if you’re looking to buy a new bike, BikeRadar Bike Reviews are great.
2. Customer reviews – these are probably your best resource for information. There’s no finances or influence involved, they’re purely just honest reviews from customers that have bought and used the product. The reason we love customer reviews so much is because no matter if their view is good or bad, there’s a very good chance that it will be honest and unbiased.
Our best advice is to head over to Chain Reaction Cycles and read the LifeLine Prime Race Road Tyre reviews there.

- Description: LifeLine Prime Race Road TyrePrime Time Inspired by cyclists sprinting for ‘primes’ (pronounced ‘preems’) in criterium races, LifeLine prime race tyres are designed for high speeds, tight bends and the pursuit of victory. The slick centre tread keeps straight line rolling resistance to an absolute minimum while a channeled pattern in the shoulders provides increased grip in the corners and helps to shift surface water in poor conditions. The 60a durometer compound offers excellent traction for confidence on twisty descents and hairpin turns. Case Closed The 120TPI (threads per inch) casing provides increased strength and flexibility while reducing weight. This allows the tyre to withstand the high pressures needed for racing, and the reduced rotational mass offers faster acceleration and agile handling. A tough and lightweight Kevlar breaker sits beneath the tread to guard against sharp road debris, helping prevent punctures and keeping you out on the roads for longer. The aramid folding beads provide a secure interface with the rim whilst also allowing easy installation. 23mm or 25mm? LifeLine Prime Race Road Tyres are available in 23mm and 25mm options so you can choose between the feedback and precision of 23s, or the more cushioned and stable feel of 25s. Custom colours are also available to match with your kit theme.Features:Fast rolling slick centre treadChannelled shoulder tread for wet weather cornering tractionGrooved arrowhead tread channels water away from the center for wet weather tractionKevlar breaker for effective puncture protectionityLightweight 120 TPI CasingWeight: 219gPSI: 90-110Sizes: 700 x 32c/35cBuy LifeLine tyres from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World’s Largest Online Bike Store.
