Ive been on Pro Race and Conti Attck/Force...both great tires..just wondering what you folks are riding? Anyone have good results from TUFO Tubular Clinchers?

fantastic tyres.
I am very anti-Mich Pro Race. Flats galore.BIANCHI_EURO said:Hi,
I am very enthusiastic about Vittoria's Rubino's. They're cheap (just 9,95 Euro each) and 100% reliable, which can't be said from the more expensive tires. The top of the line tyres ride just a little nicer, while paying a heavy price as well as with the number of punctures as financially.
Last year within three rides I killed two sets (4 tyres) of GP 3000 tires (hitting little stones in the descents). During a descent both my Vredestein Volantes (yes indeed... just bought for the beautifull Bianchi colour) exploded without any reason. These Volante tires are really dangerous!! I informed the factory, but they refuse to do anything about it. This tyre is just to weak and can explode any time!
Now I drive Rubino in training and competition and open corsa just in competition.
Regards, Frnak.
Weisse Luft said:GP Supersonics feel EXACTLY like the best tubulars and I get well over 1000 miles out of them, barring road hazards. The first set I used were worn out, front and rear, at 2400 miles and I was very lucky to avoid all road hazards but my second set only lasted 1300 miles on the rear, front is still fine.
I replaced these with GP3000's and the feel is so "clincher".

I ride Specialized Mondo Pro and S-Works. The MPs I've run for many miles (3000+), ridden crits on them, etc. Very very durable and plenty light. The S-Works I only have a few hundred miles on, so no verdict there yet.
To me, all clinchers FEEL pretty much the same, including the Vittoria Open CXs I had last year.
Aztec: I've had the same experience with the Pro Races; they cut very easily on me. I've had great results with Conti GP 3000...only one pinch flat on the road in 5000 miles, and that didn't damage the tire at all. At 100 psi front, 105-110 rear, the ride and handling are great. The rears seem to last 2500-2800 miles.Aztec said:I am very anti-Mich Pro Race. Flats galore.
