I've used several different Tufo tires, and none of them have disappointed me. I like the Tufo range because the selection is very comprehensive and logically arranged, the quality nice, and the pricing always reasonable.
Most recently, I've used the HI Composite Carbon (22mm, 260g)and Elite Road (23mm, 240g), both of which are very good and durable for general road use. Currently, I'm using the S3 Lite (21mm, 215g) in anticipation of a 3-stage race next month. I'm riding Campy Hyperon wheels presently, but I'm planning on getting a pair of Corima Aeros and a Corima disc to toss into the mix.
I typically run my tires in the 160-170psi range (~11 bar), and I love the way they feel and respond to rider input. They grip very well, and I feel more secure in the corners with these tires than I ever did with clinchers.
Prior to using the Tufo tubulars, I was using better Conti clinchers and Mavic wheels (Open Pro, etc.). I prefer the tubulars, and I'm not going back.
