Depends on the kind of riding you do. I agree with Skip
about the Stelvios if you are looking for a thin fast tire.
Excellent traction too, even in the wet. If you want to go
wider and want a reasonably fast tire (not as fast as the
Stelvios) then take a look at the Kenda Kwest. I run a 1.25"
on my V-Rex commuter but they also make a 1.5" that I have
read a lot of complimentary posts on. Kendas deliver nice
road feel, are pretty tough, and have low rolling
resistance. The Stelvios deliver nice road feel, aren't as
tough, but provide lower rolling resistance.
