I have about 1200 miles on my Specialized Roubaix Pro, my rear tire nearly worn out. Is this weird or normal?
Life is too short to run crappy, slow tires
Life is too short to run crappy slow tires...so it's better to spend 4 times the money 3 times more often on fast racing tires for someone who doesn't race? For some people it may be that life is too short to spend $85 on a fast tire that wears out fast and flats more often.
Specialized Roubaix tires are very good tires, the Pro series is not as tough or as long lasting as the Roubaix Armadillo Elite tire, but the Pro is about as good as any other tire in that class on the market. I have a set of those Pro's but I haven't used them yet.
Roubaix Armadillo Elite is $55 bucks but it gives a hell of an ass beating. These tires suck.
The Continental GP4000 Sii in 28mm is $45 online. It should last at least 3,000 miles on the rear and probably more. With latex tubes it is very, very fast and pretty comfortable....not the best but ok. The only other tires faster in my stable are Conti supersonics and Vittoria TLR tubeless.
