I was lucky enough to find the last pair of continental GP4000S ii tires in yellow at my bike shop (Possibly in the state or Oregon!) With the winter coming, its time to take off the summer wheels and throw on my winter wheels, but I'm wanting another set of tires that will be durable and also have a yellow sidewall. I DO NOT want a yellow center. Looking for yellow sidewall with standard black center.

have only seen a couple options and those seem to be race style tires that will most likely leave me on the side of the road with every ride replacing tubes. Vitorria open corsa pro or veloflex tires would be the look I'm after, but must be more durable. Need a 700x23 CLINCHER



Looking to replace these tires and have the same look.

There's sometimes a buggy.
How many drivers does a buggy have?

One.

So let's just say I'm drivin' this buggy...
and if you fix your attitude you can ride along with me.

Arent these pretty soft? I haven't ridden Michelin's since the pro 3 because I was tired of getting punctures every ride. Is the endurance any better than the race?

I have ridden mostly Michelin PR's, but also Conti 4 seasons and Gatorskins. And most of it urban rides and commutes in and around Toronto. For many years doing 20,000+ Km/yr. I don't think there's any difference when it comes to punctures.
