only five left though!

anyway just bought a pair and thought i would let you guys know

Thank You. Thank You.
Finally a white tire I can afford ! ; )

You can get cheap white tyres (as in all-white and no black bits) easily from Condor.

I'd love to be able to, but I don't actually live in London... I just visit quite alot...

Those Zaffiros are wank

One of the reviews says "not good at cornering above 10mph".

And made from condensed mash potato

i agree, but i have a ZAFFIRO 700x19 fitted to a front wheel for 3 years now, and still grips fine (i just don't use that much. does it count?)

I ran Rubinos for a while. Solid tyre, IMO.

One of the reviews says "not good at cornering above 10mph".

for racing, defintely not! but for everyday riding it's fine, my missus is still on her pair of vittoria.

the zaffiro pro is noticeably better than the old zaffiro, which was fairly obviously rubbish after a week or so (though still nowhere near as bad as the Halo tyre which I skidded through in exactly 7 days recently (17 skid patches). The zaffiro pro's 60 tpi is the same tpi as the old rubinos, which no-one seemed to be bothered by. Skidded a few times on my new one, then put it on the front for safekeeping. Still, white's a bit old hat these days, shame the novelty wore off. They seemed so exciting autumn 07, guess you get used to it.

+1 for Rubino PRO's

Only on the front though

What have you got on the back? And why?

Raw alu, I just love the sparks

Raw fixieskidding I see

Sounds like hard work...

I have a rubino pro as a rear tyre, nice predictable skid, very stiff and fast rolling and seem to be pretty p******e proof so far, and only £16.99 best value tyre I've ever bought.

Zaffiro's are shit.
They came stock on my bike.

It was a dry day although it had rained the night before so there were puddles around.
I pedaled through a puddle while turning gently (some lean) and the bike went straight from underneath me. Sustained a heavily bruised and cut elbow and badly ripped saddle.

+1 for the Rubino Pros. Got all-white ones from Wiggle and swapped them out straight away.
