These ones are Vulcano. I think they were one of the only tan wall tubulars I could find in 25mm wide.
They are a nice looking tyre. Tan colour is more yellow than tan, like they were in the 1980s. Nice and round all the way round, unlike, say, a Vittoria Rally which often has a bulge. More supple than a Continental Giro but I’d say it’s wearing out a bit faster. Only criticism is that the rubber perishes quite quickly in comparison to other tubs I’ve had. They don’t last more than about a year before developing some cracks.
I also had a pair of Strada Bianca which were an amazing old-looking tyre, with s nice colour tan wall and ribbed all round. They were really nice but only come in 30mm and the big size didn’t quite look right on skinny Fiamme rims. They would have been ideal otherwise, because they’re a tyre designed for Paris-Roubaix so built tough as hell with a really thick tread band.

Which Challenge tubulars are you using and how do they ride?
-I was looking at getting a few for two of my bikes.
