fyi, your recommendation came up tops in the TOUR review I posted above. The recent generation GP with black chili is a great tire - the older versions felt a little sluggish.Originally Posted by Dr Lodge .
For a clincher, the Continental GP4000 S is a good tyre.

Interesting, Thanks.Originally Posted by 531Aussie .
I 'try' to race on Vittoria Open Corsas, but I usually ride about 10km to races, so sometimes I don't feel like risking puncturing them on the way. Sometimes I put one on the front for a race, mostly for the placebo effect (and coz they feel nice ), and leave something more durable on the rear, such as a GP4000S. I also have some Michelin Pro 3s, which are ok, and not bad on grip, but they seem to be vulnerable to cuts.
I'd like to try the top Veloflexes, but they always seem harder to get than Vittorias.
Now you got all the picture in Thanks.Originally Posted by 531Aussie .
Yep, all clinchers. The picture's a bit too big, so you might have to drag across to see the right side. Or, I could've just posted a smaller pic

The ranking order will stay pretty much the same, no matter the road surface quality, although slight changes in order might be possible if two tires have similar rolling resistance.jeff3069 said:[COLOR=006400]Thanks for all the good replies![/COLOR] [COLOR=006400]Would you think that the provided data is true mainly on well-paved (smooth) road ?[/COLOR] [COLOR=006400]Do top rated tires lose at list some of its advantage on not-so-smooth roads ?[/COLOR] [COLOR=006400]Thx.[/COLOR]
The charts do provide tire pressure in psi vs. rolling resistance as measured on a drum or rollers. Under these circumstances (or on a velodrome) higher is usually better.Originally Posted by jeff3069 .
