Anyone run these on their ride?  http://www.tufo.cz/index.php?lg=en&co=produkce

I've read alot about them but have only talked to a couple of people who both swear by them - they claim them to be much lighter and easier rolling when pumped up between 150-180psi and claim they never flat when using Tufo's sealantSeems to be the best of both worlds - weight and rolling resistance of a tubular with the ease of installation of a clincher.

Well I have actually heard 120 pounds is optimal for speed. Actually making the tires hold more pressure will make the tire harder and hit bumps with a harder blow which actually slows you down rather than speeds you up. I am sure on certain terrian a higher pressure might be better but for most terrian 120 is optimal. I ride vittoria clinchers that are like the tufo tubulars adn I love them. I actually need to buy a new set. Anyway I work at a shop as well and have heard from numerouse people that 120 is the best pressure to run and I have read an article online somewhere that has done a test proving this.

They have tubes but they ride like a tubular. They are light and have a great ride. I have ridden some tubulars and these really do feel ike tubulars. without all the hassle of actual tubeless stuff.

Which Vittoria tire are you referring to specifically?
