I ve a Specialized Turbo Creo 1 and need a new rear tyre. It currently has Bontrager R3 700x32s on Bontrager rims, is set up as a road bike and used on group rides, never off road. Looking for suggestions for a good replacement tyre, thanks!

Edited to add: I run with tubes, not a tubeless setup.

Continental Grand Prix 4-Season 622/32

Should be a reliable and durable choice.

Tyres are a minefield and not many true e road tyres unless you want something very heavy duty and clunky, my ebike came with Continental Ultra Sport III which roll well, start to look a bit tired after 1000 miles but £20 on Amazon. Certainly get something with a more road like tread

^The Creo's max motor support is just under 300watts, and if OP hasn't modded it than the support cuts off totally by 17mph. The Creo also comes in at 14kgs, not that much more than a cheaper analogue gravel bike. I'm not sure you need an 'eBike' specific tire.
