I'll vouch for the gatorskins. I ride 25 and enjoy it. A lot of the people I ride with use Conti 4000 and like those too.

actually I am still riding around on 700 x 40 from MD hillslug. Quite the workout.

Love my new Vittoria Open Corsa's!

CONTINENTAL GRAND PRIX 4000!!!!

They have gotten me through 3 years of ironman training and racing, and I have yet to have had a flat. Oh wait I had one once!!

And we live in the desert- so lots of pokey things around here.

I sell a ton of the GP 4000's here, and have yet to have anyone complain.

+1 on the GP4000s... although they're by no means flat-free in my experience, they're reasonably sturdy, have gobs of tread life, and have a very quick feel. Plus they come in groovy colors, which will force you to scrub your freakin' tires whenever you wash your bike.

I'd also say Conti GP4000's. They won't have the longest life, but for a good racing tire, they are quite durable. I prefer the grip of Michelin Pro Race tires, but they (especially the newer Pro3's) are kinda soft and subject to getting small cuts and glass stuck in them. I still find them to be durable enough for training for me, but if I was regularly riding through a ton of crap on the roads, then I would opt for something like the Conti's for training and Michelins for racing.

I do love DC streets.

Did I ever tell you about the Fifty states ride? All fifty state street names in the District, all four quadrants, tons of glass, potholes, iron slabs covering those potholes, and, yes, heckling.

Hi,
you can try the Vredestein tricomp - I use them on all clincher wheels and they do great.
