I've become a slave to Zipp Tangentes, both the open tubulars
(a realtively silly name for "clincher"
) and thew tubulars, which I race on.
They are oh so smooth riding, good puncture resistance, low-ish rolling resistance. I like 'em.
Footnote: Man, I've tried a lot of different tires:
-Michelin Pro Race 3
(quite nice
).
-Continental Attack and Force combination
(my second favorite
).
-Continental Gran Prix 4000
(pretty good, nothing to write home about, just good tires...
)
-Continental Gran Prix 4000 "S"
(nope, couldn;t tell the difference with the "S"
)
-Vittoria Pro Slick
(ride nice, but flat quite easily, low mileage tire
).
-Vittoria Rubino
(better than pro slick
).
-Vittoria Rubino Pro Tech
(very nice, like the continentals mostly
).
-Vittoria Open Corsa CX
(super, super nice ride but not-so-good durability
).
