what's the hot new tire these days?

[Tickdoc]

Been riding the new corsa's for a while now, and they are fine and fast, but are not as puncture resistant as I expected.

I'm tired of picking debris out of the rubber just waiting for the next flat. And they also don't corner well over anything loose, but they sure are fast in a straight line.

Veloflex master 25's are still my all time favs, but not on my enve rims.

So what's your favorite fancy nancy tire these days?

Continental GP4000s

Specialized s works turbo cottons are nice !

[dgauthier]

You mean there are other brands of tires besides Veloflex...?

Conti GP 4000 S II is the best tire I've used, period. They handle fine, last twice as long as any other tire I've used, and I haven't flatted in a season and a half.

I ride the 25mm version and have the rear at 90 psi and front at 80 and find them very nice riding.

I quite liked the new graphene Corsas on the dry roads (and dirt roads) of Wyoming and Colorado. They seemed to last well, not puncture and ride very well.

In contrast, visiting upstate NY this summer with its wet roads (and little flint stone gravel) the Corsas still rode well, but seemed to get lots of little cuts very quickly, as well as flat more. If these were my regular riding conditions I would go back to something like Michelin Pro Race 4s (or whatever the successor is) or the Conti GP.

clement lcv anyone?

Any love for Gommitalia? Their Targa was similar to the Vittoria Corsa, and the Blitz was a chubby, rubbery, grippy slick tire. I liked the latter as a good, durable training tire.

(I use past tense cuz I haven't seen Gommitalias sold anywhere in quite a few years)

Vittoria Corsa Graphene.

Just get them.

I haven't seen much online regarding these tires, but they sound awesome.

^ yep.

also

Schwalbe Uno is a very durable tire (I cannot seem to kill my front tire)

and

for a fast grippy tire (with all the trade offs) I'm still digging the Michelin Pro4 (but they wear really fast).

One not mentioned that i have liked, especially for hills and cornering are the Michelin pro 4. not gumwalls, but nice fast comfy tires that hold the road well.
