Tubs score on reduced rim weight and increased strength. I have one pair of clincher rims that I use with Armadillo tyres for occasional commuting and a shed load of tub rims for various purposes. One set has done 4 amateur Tour of Flanders - check the cobbled sections on that ride :(
Tubs are more forgiving on a longer ride and aren't that much of a pain to change compared to a difficult clincher - what are those Michelin tyres? Major PIA to change.
