White tires like the one in this picture? Any clue who makes them? Looking for 700 x 23 clinchers.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Steve

The look like Michelin Race Yellow's. Pictures on the web often have "odd" colors compared to real life.

Click here (http://www.competitivecyclist.com/za/CCY?PAGE=BUY_PRODUCT_STANDARD&PRODUCT.ID=403&CATEGORY.ID=39&MODE=), and then click on "choose color". You're home.

First off, thanks all for the great links!

So, both Vittoria Rubino Pro and Vittoria Open Corsa EVO CX come in white/black as well as Vredestein Fortezza Tricomp. The Rubino's and Vredsteins are simlilar in price with the Open Corsa being much more money.

Opinions on all 3 tires, please.

Thanks,

Steve

I love my Open Corsa EVO CXs! I've ridden them for 2 years.

I have the white/black Tricomps on my "white bike." Favorite century bike and favorite century tire.

Bear in mind though - they're only white for the first 5 miles.

As stated earlier, they're Vittorias. I have a pair(Rubino's) on my(black w/white lettering) Seven Axiom Steel. Not the greatest tire out there,IMO, but they look cool if thats the color you're looking for. Jeff N.

First off, I think the Vredstein's are GREY, not WHITE. If you're truly going for white, cross the Vreds off your list.

Having said that, I rode them for almost 2 years, and found them very tough, fairly supple, and fairly light. I'd recommend them. (However, I've liked the Veloflex Pave/Black better - they wear faster, but they're lighter and more supple.)

No experience with the Vittorias, sorry.

And what's this with all these "V" tires, anyway?
