What's the best clincher out there right now? Can't Post
Need some new tires (or tyres for our friends across the pond) and was wondering what was supposed to be the best pick these days. In my area, I hear a lot about the Michelin pro race 3, but I wondered what else was getting rave reviews???

I'm a Michelin PR2/PR3 fan (both training and race wheels).

Take a look at http://www.biketechreview.com/...ire_testing_rev7.pdf

Depends on the use. Rebel XT mentions a good tire.
The Zipp Tangente is a great tire as well.

Oops, good point. I'm strictly triathlon right now, no TT or road racing, anything from a sprint to a 1/2 so far.

Zipp tires. 290tpi for ultra smooth ride...21c width for that little extra aero advantage.
I actually even crit raced on these tires and they cornered great.
I do have some Mich PR3s too.
But come race day in a tri...Zipps all the way.

Easy... Veloflex Records are the fastest. Be sure to use latex tubes.

Pro3s are no faster than Conti GP4000 S Chili tires... which are more durable.
