Most durable 23-25 tubular?

[ANAO]

What tire out right now would make a sturdy daily driver? I've had success with the yellow jersey servizio corsas but they're a bit narrow at 21.

Conti sprinter gator is a pretty durable tire.

Brick like feel, negates the magic carpet feel of a properly inflated tubular.
I say just add goop-- seals all but severe cuts in the tire

If you're gonna ride these in a tubular, just don't ride tubulars.

Get the clincher version and ride 'em into the ground.

I don't think there's any doubt that the most durable tubular tire with 25mm width is the continental sprinter gatorskin. Ride quality is abysmal, but ... so durable.

for the service you describe, i wouldnt hesitate to get a set of the newest G+ corsa tubulars and ride them. orange seal has been good to me with tubulars. these will be plenty durable for daily use.

Agreed.

There is no point in riding tubulars if garden hoses are in question.

The only Continental I would ever consider again would be a competition but even there the ride is no better than a good clincher. So what's the point?

Tubulars really only make sense to me if you're going to get the best riding ones available.

Anyway, I have not observed my Veloflex to wear any more quickly than any others. I've worn Continentals down to the threads on several occasions. Same with Veloflex.

Wearing a tire to the threads with no flats is awesome!

I've been riding Vittoria Rally 25s with no issues.

Are you looking for mileage or puncture proofness? The latter - Cafe Latex. The former... Vitt Corsa in 25 on sale can be good $/mile.

Both, with puncture proofness taking the lead for utmost importance. I will be riding these about once or twice a week during the warmer months and can swap them out at the end of the season. I just want to avoid flats as much as possible.

In the past, I’d had good luck with Conti Sprinters in 22 mm on the bombed out streets of Berzerkeley, and then all around the east coast. I think they might be available in 25 and even 28 mm these days, although that might not fit all frames...

Either way, folks on the web report great things about using sealant, which I’ve never tried myself, remembering patching sew ups and not liking the idea of a gooey tire when the time comes. Dude on another forum swears by Stans in his and carries a spare bottle, and regularly wears them down to the threads, reportedly. I bought a bit of sealant and some 25 mm Elites on sale from U.K., so may give it a shot come spring!

Cafelatex? Stans? Does it matter?

I’m a novice with sealant. Bought Cafe Latex after a bit of research, will report on it in 6-12 months. It’s getting cold around here! :-)
