I really like Continental Competitions for racing and Sprinters for training, yes I train on tubulars. I have heard very good things about Zipp tires as well but have not tried them.

If someone has any experience w/ the zipps please give me some feedback the online shop I usually use is out of the continentals.

I'll second the Continental tires rec (I race on Sprinters since I don't carry a spare tubular)

Vittoria or Veloflex. I like the extra puncture protection of a Kevlar layer under the tread with Vittorias. Veloflex are super supple and fast though...
Zipps are made in the same factory as Vittorias. Basically the same tire from what I hear. Were some reports of leaky valve stems here and there. But the tires are supposed to be very fast. Same ride as Vittorias with superior aerodynamics. That is according to Zipp; I don't know that it has been tested independently.
