rubino PROs are excellent all-rounders for the money.
vittoria make good tyres, continental make some ok tyres and some very shit ones, can't see the point in armadillos unless you are very poor and rubbish at slowing down/stopping without skidding all the time, you may as well buy tyres that ride well.
coloured tyres use different compounds and are usually more silica based, meaning less grip, they are for looks over performance.
But everyone has their own opinion, and ask three people and you'll get four different answers..
