I posted this in the general topics forum and was directed here.
I've got a specialized allez sport road bike with a set of the Mondo tires on it. I've got a 545 mile bike ride coming up in June and will be riding between 80 and 112 miles a day through all kinds of different road conditions. IT could be hot and sunny or even cold and raining cats and dogs.
With that in mind I was hoping someone could recommend a good all around tire that blanaces LRR with good grip and decent cornering/handling.
If I have to sacrifice, I'd take more Rolling resistance for better grip and handling/cornering. It's less of a race and more about endurance.
I know thats a tall order for any tire, much less a bicycle tire but I have faith y'all can point me in the right direction. Below are the description and specs for the tire on there now.
The Mondo road tire was carefully engineered to be the fastest, best handling race tire in the world. Combines extremely low rolling resistance, puncture resistance and light weight, plus increased contact surface and traction while cornering via our proprietary Dual Radius Tread design.

Diameter 700c

Bead Folding
PSI 115-125
