Michelin
Axial Pro | 20mm | They're ugly but the center ridge is designed to be durable and fast, and the side rubber is sticky for cornering traction. I haven't tried them. That's just what Michelin says. | $ |
Axial Pro | 23mm | Same as above but the larger size is more comfortable and just between you and me, the rolling resistance is the same. | $ |
Axial Select | 23mm | Michelin's new casing without the ugly GREEN! | $ |
Supercomp HD | 20mm | The smaller version of a great tire. (If only it were bigger, it would be great too!) Am I biased? | $ |
Veloflex
Pave | 22mm |
My fastest tire. Made in Italy by the same Italians who used to make Vittoria tires. These have extremely supple sidewalls and grippy treads. If you can't ride tubulars, and want the next best thing, these are it. No goofy colors, just black tread and a tan sidewall. Cotton casing. |
$ |
Superstar | 20mm | Just slightly narrower version of the Pave | $ |
Vredestein
Flex Sport | 28mm | Reflective sidewall and generator strip make this an excellent choice for commuting. | $ |
