Hutchinson Fusion 5 All Season 11 Storm TLR Folding Road Tyre - 700c
The Fusion 5 All Season is the perfect tyre for long intensive outings. Hutchinson have worked on a specific compound thickness of 1.6mm with a tailored particle size to favour durability and grip on wet roads. The Kevlar® reinforcement protects the casing from puncture risks. The tyre should give longer wear life than the performance version by about 10-20%.

The new ElevenSTORM® compound is pretty good combining good wet grip with decent wear rate.
No time for compromise anymore.
My own testing has shown this tyre to be a grippy one. As good as the IRC formula Pro X guard in fact for grip. The tyre does cut more and punctures a bit more frequently than the Formula Pro X Guard tyre. Also wear life is half that of the IRC's but it is cheaper.
