Thanks OP, got a pair of 23mm Continental GP4000s II. They are really comfortable compared to Vittoria's Zaffiro and Rubino.

You can usually get these around $31 shipped on eBay. And that’s before any coupons. You can also usually get GP4000s tires for only a few bucks more.

I second the Michelin pro 4 endurance tires. I got them last week for $33 each at biketiresdirect. Great tires.

I love my gatorskin tires for commuting and general riding. My guess is for the vast majority of riders getting flat tires is one of the most discouraging things that can happen and prevents people...

This is why I'm changing from 25mm to 28mm. Plus our roads are less than perfect.

Most cycling teams have also found that wider (25mm vs 21mm) tires provide better performance. There really isnt much reason to go below 25mm.

I wouldn't recommend Gatorskins. I run them on my commuter bike and need an excuse to replace them. They don't roll very well and you can get much faster tires with nearly as good puncture resistance...

What are the differences between the first two tires? Folding and non folding. I have a low end ($400) bike that I would like to put these on.
