Which Tyres?

Vittoria.

High roller, huh?

/thread

Rubinos.. I used to use them for training. Terrible on greasy roads, never again. Life is too short for cheap/shit tyres.

Rolling resistance will probably be a bit high.

meh, I like them. not gonna get better for £20 anyway. NB rubino pro is a totally different tyre to a non-pro rubino

Yep, last pair i had were pro's. Not saying they are awful, just that I can't be fucked with them anymore. Good tyres are the best upgrade you can buy.

old faithful. Loved those tyres when I rode DH.

Which in the new Bontrager range is the closest match/replacement model for the Racelite Hardcases...?

Smooth roller.

Open Pave/latex tubes/Archetype = Brian Ferry on Lithium.

None, the AW series replace this nowadays.

AW2 and AW3 have aero profile, and are harder to fit.

Definitely avoid Rubino Pros, they've had me on the floor more than a couple of times in the wet.

+1 Open Pavé being great.
+1 Rubino being pony - no grip whatsoever in anything other than bone dry. Hard wearing though...

Having ridden thousands upon thousands of miles on them here and in the EU. that's not the tyre's fault.

Rubino Pro Slicks are awesome fun when you hit a wet manhole cover. Did it last night and back wheel was spinning so fast but I was going so slow.

Almost all tyres will do that on wet metal.

I don't know how you ride, but it's a common complaint and not particularly confidence inspiring when your rear tyre just randomly lets go navigating roundabouts. Never experienced it with any other tyre

@hippy these are pro they do it better

Rubino Pro are fine, of course not as grippy as a full on race tyre but if you're going sideways you're doing it wrong (or maybe grass track racing).

Never experienced it with any other tyre

Soon.

Been riding with the Continental Grand Sport Race tyres for the last 6 months, quite decent for a budget tyres, and go up to 32mm folding.

The 25mm work well on wider rims, unlike my old 4 Seasons.

What's wrong with 4 seasons on wide rims?

Contact point is too narrow, thus the sidewall is more exposed.
