An old thread but it may do just the same instead of inventing the wheel. hihi

As recommended here somewhere on the forum for me, I am going to change my 23mm tires for some 25mm.

I called my LBS to see what they recommended for my Kuota's wheels (I have Amercican Classi Aero 420 wheels)
http://www.amclassic.com/en/products...els/420-aero-3

They said what is left in stock are the Roubaix Armadillo Elite at $80Cdn and the Armadillo All condition at $70. I will certainly shop on line before as prices are always a lot, even with the 15% rebate I get (it only covers our taxes here).

Now, I'm looking for comfort, grip and better control on my bike. I don't care much for speed, tight corners, etc. He said both are good but in my case, the all around would do just the same. The Elite is foldable. That would be the main difference.

I printed the specs of both tires and I don't understand all of it. ie. casing of Elite is 120tpi vs 60 for the all condition.

So which one would you opt to purchase for what I am looking for? Or would it be something different?

Price is not really an issue (although money does not grow on tree) as I like to have the best quality/value for the $ possible.

Thank you very much.
