Hi all,

What is to your opinion the best road clincher tyre on the market?

Should be a balance of;
Looks ;-)
Weight
Rolling resistance
Price
Puncture proof
Durability
...

I liked the continentals as well. The michelins wore too quickly.

I like the Vitt open pave a little more than the gp 4000s. They nick up easier than the Contis, but they're way more supple, and look cooler with the green stripe 8). I don't think they'll last as long as my gp 4000s, but they're cheaper at my lbs. Next on my list will be Conti Attack/Force.

I am going to have to be the odd one here and say Maxxis Re-Fuse in 25mm.

That being said, I have been riding Open Corsa Evo CX around because they just feel so damn good.

Best all rounder: GP4000S

Best value at the moment: Michelin Pro 3 Race (while stocks last)

Honourable mention: Vittoria Open Corsa Evo CX (but I think they handle greasy/wet conditions less well than the 2 above)
