I have used Michelin Pro 4 clincher tires with very good results, good grip in wet and pretty much no fuss the last 2 years. Endurance, Service Course even the new Grip versions. They just run forever without having to worry about them at all.

I am now looking to switch to tubulars, and seems like Veloflex Carbon have the best feedback. There's barely any comments on Michelin Pro4 Tubulars. Carbons are 320TPI, and the Michelins are 290TPI. They both claim to have really good puncture resistance and grip in the wet.

Any comments would be very much appreciated!

Search and google around ... IIRC these are made in the same factory in Thailand as Vittorias and are the same tyres as the 290tpi CX of old ... if so ... avoid.

Shame Michelin don't just stich up a Pro4 and throw a latex inner in there ... would give us all another nice option
