Agree with the Sprinter - it's a good tyre - I've not tried rally's or Giro's yet, but I've only been riding tubs for sunday best - I'm planning to start using them for everyday use and thought that the volcano looked to be quite a robust construction - rubberised all round!
Not sure about the tub-skid-paranoia - I've only ever done skids on wolber silks on the track so my experiences are not transferable to the street.
I think some form of experiment is called for unless there's anyone out there riding brakeless on tubs...
( I guess it's down to how much better the glue grips the tyre than the tread grips the road)
