Looking for some 38 / 40c large volume road slicks. What are my options? Gravel King Slick +, Rene Herse Barlow Pass, Challenge Strada Bianca, G-one Speed / Terra Speeds? Thoughts / recommendations welcome

I loved them in the 36 flavour. Not cheap, but quality.

Any experience with the Challenge Roubaix?

Yeah I'm tempted by them but as you say pricey. There also seem to be so many different and confusing versions of them.

One of mine had the tread come unstuck from the casing. Bike was stolen before it became a problem though

Edit - That's bollocks - it was Clement tyres that delaminated.

I have these for commuting and bad weather road, got a lot of miles on them. They don't flat, but I hardly flat with most tires, lasting very well but they're not fast. A workhorse tire, not a Sunday best.

I find these feel dead, they give no feedback and also lack grip in wet.
