Subject: New tires and tubes or just latex tubes?I know that there have been tons of recent posts on 'the best tires,' but hear me out. My current race wheels have Michelin Pro3 Race tires with butyl tubes, and I've been happy with their performance. I know that tires like the Vittoria Evo CX, Bontrager R4, or Specialized Mondo have a bit lower rolling resistance. Does it make sense to get completely new tires and latex tubes or should I just get latex tubes for my current tires? My bike leg is usually my best 'leg' of a tri, and I'm pretty consistently near the top bike time, from sprints to HIM. What are we talking in terms of time/wattage savings if I was to just get latex tubes for the Pro3's or if I was to get a whole tire/tube new setup? Thanks!
