lightweight racing tires?

[silver]

Nashbar has the Grand prix 4000 in silver (not using the nashbar link incase of problems) it's 210g but I'm really thinking about it. I originally wanted the Force and Attack but not in silver and Performance is out of stock. Do you guys know anything about this one? I don't want the light blue Michelin. although the gray would have been ok. if all else is the same I'd rather have the silver

by the way, I got the new saddle....the Selle San Marco Era Composite (although I really wanted the silver one, but will have to wait on funding) So far It's ok. I need to give it a few more adjustments and time)

I have these http://www.maxxis.com/products/bicyc...tail.asp?id=97 on my racing bike right now.
(Maxxis Xenith Hor Categorie)
I like them quite a bit. They are nice and sticky (as in they corner well), yet they are not so soft that they pick up everything. I haven't had any flats with them yet, and haven't seen trainer wear - though I've only been using the trainer for warming up before races. It's hard to see from the photos, but they have medium/light grey sidewalls.

Another vote for the Michelin Pro2 and the Pro2 light. I've had both the Continental 3000 & 4000. YMMV, but for me the Michelin's have a better feel (smoother roll) and have been quite sturdy. I have the Pro2 on my Mavic Open Pros with PowerTap for training. I have the Pro2 light on my Bontrager X-Lites for when I'm going for the lightest weight. I also experience no visible wear on the rear from trainer riding. BikeTiresDirect have the Michelin's in a variety of colors.

Good luck!

Your mileage may vary.
