Axial Pro Race. A truely excellent tyre IMO.

You can still get (or at least could fairly recently) Axial Pros from the bucket merchants (try
Parkers or Ribble) but I'll guess you won't be able to for much longer.

I found they wore out *very* quickly, and were vulnerable to punctures. Nice ride, though. I'd use
them for a race, but not for training or commuting.

The new ones (Axial Pro Race) and very puncture resistant (only one puncture on them so far this
year (touches wood) and that was a snakebite caused by hitting a large stone at 30mph).

Wear, well, it's what you'd expect for a race tyre.
