    I use Vittoria Rubino Pros that I buy at probikekit.com for about $22 a piece. I have admittedly not experimented with other tires, but why fix what ain't broken. I've never (knock on wood) had a flat and they're not hard to mount. They provide a nice ride, especially for the money.
    Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

    Serfas Seca Road tire, about $18 each. I love these tires (I don't race, and I don't know (or care) about weight, etc.). I had a bad sidewall blowout with the Michelin Pro Race, but my BF likes them alot.

    I like my Schwalbe Stelvios. I initially bought them for the color (pink is hard to find!) but they have a very cushy ride, more so than other tires I've used.

    My favorite road bike tires are the Vredestein Fortezza Tricomps! If I can't find these my second favorite tire are Continentals. But only if I can't find the Vredestein Fortezza Tricomp. I love these tires!

    I love my Michelin Pro2 Race tires. Very smooth rolling, quick, and comfy. I also ride for fun and fitness, although I do occasionally like to do so somewhat quickly.
    I tried the Hutchison Fusion Comp from Performance. They were on sale for 50% off, and I couldn't resist. Well, I should have. Blech. Slow, gummy. Made my bike feel very sluggish. I never thought a new pair of shoes could have such an impact on a bike's performance, but these certainly did...and it wasn't good. Don't recommend the Fusion Comps. I went right back to my Pro2 races! Worth every penny.
