Vredestein Fortezza TriComps are the only tires I use! I love them!

The Continental GP4000s with the black chili rubber compound only come in 700x23 but they are about the size of a 700x25. I had Conti GP4000 (not s) 700x23 before these and they were smaller in width (now have to push to remove wheel from fork). Reportedly the chili compound provides longer mileage and less rolling resistance. So far for me they have been very durable. Close to 2 years (4000 miles) and they look new. They are smoother on our crappy roads here too.

I really like Michelin Krylion. It's a nice round tire and it's fairly easy to slip on and off the rim when you have to change a tube.

Does anyone have any opinions on the specialized roubaix tires? I might get a set on order tomorrow for my spec ruby comp. I'm mainly after something that's lightweight and not going to puncture after every week of riding! Does anyone know if they last a decent amount of miles?
Thanks!

I thought the Krylions had been discontinued? But now I see that online merchants have them in stock - were they reintroduced?

I had them on my bike and they seem to be a softer tire and didn't last as long as I had hoped. I think I got maybe 2000 miles out of them.

Oakleaf, for some reason this tire sells out and production gets behind.
