I've been doing abou 300 miles a week for 3 years, and have tried many tires. This is how I
rank them.
1. Vredesteins -- these are excellent the ricoso, volante and tri-comp. The ricorso at $12.95
is better then all the tires listed below. Only flaw with the ricorso is that it wears quite
rapidly on the rear wheel.
2. Conti's -- only their expensive ones are worth a damn. Hated the gatorskin, and their
cheap lines.
3. Michelins -- If you have Rolf wheels, it takes an hour to change a tube. Can't get the damn
things off or on.
4. Specialized -- sure I gave the armadillos a try. Got the same number of flats, and for a
reward you get to push one of heaviest tires ever made.
5. Vittoria -- only tried the cheap one. If you pump more then 95 psi the tube pops. Put some
cotton in your ears to avoid injury.
Tubes
6. Nashbar -- heavy tube, but I just hate to change flats.
7. Specialized - lighter, almost as good.
8. Conti's -- maybe bad luck, but I just can't keep the air in these.
