Favorite tires

[TxDoc]

Hi Roguedog,
I use mostly Vredestein tricomp slick (700x23) for clinchers, and Tufo elite ride 23 (700x23) for tubulars. On my time trial bike I have 700x20 clinchers: Vittoria open corsa evo cx.
The Vredestein are fantastic tires, and very puncture-resistant. However, I like the feeling of tubulars, so the Tufo's are my favorite; very stable tires, great traction with our variable conditions (wind and flying sand one minute, rain the next), and the sealant prevents small punctures from ruining your day

Just ordered Serfas Seca RS from ebay. I gotta say the 4000s are worn and these were a great price with decent reviews. My road ride in Georgia is really tough and I thought I needed a little more tire...and they come in red.

A little late, and I don't have experience to compare with any of the other tires mentioned, but I've only had one flat with the gatorskins, and we have a lot of nasty thorns on Arizona roads. The flat was from a construction staple, btw.

Wow -- no praises for Kenda? I love their Konstrictors and C2C and for all conditions, the Kaliente's. My mtb'ing friends all use the small-block 8's too. Huge fans. Plus, they're the first ones I can change without cursing or tears.
