As per title anyone have any experience with these tubular tyres as they look like a bargain for the pair.

I picked up some from excel last year on discount. Good tire, construction is like a Vittoria, and they are made in Thailand.

Have been on them for the last 1000km.. Not the lightest out there.. feels a bit more solid vs the Vittoria Corsa CX and just hoping a bit more puncture resistant...

Bought two and will see how they work for me...

Any thoughts on grip / ride quality? Similar to Pro4 Service Course clinchers?

The clinchers are great but the tubs are just terrible. Slightly worse than the GP4000S2 tubs but not quite as bad as Gatorskin tubs. If course I'd rather rude bare rims than the three choices above.

LOL the imagery above.

i've raced pro4s tubs and didn't have the issues grill mentioned. From my one experience on them, i'd recommend the tubs. Not sure how that affects your decision on clinchers.

very nice tyres, rode them last season - these were my first tubbies. I've difficulty comparing them to clinchers, as the whole wheel system is different, esp in weight (been riding clinchers on cosmics and tubbies on boras), but as a die hard michelin fan (I'm using Pro Races since ~2004) I wouldn't look elsewhere.
