There really is no question that the best tubulars in the world are made by Andre Dugast. His tires are omnipresent on the track at the world cup level, and pretty much every top 'cross rider who isn't contractually obligated to ride green tires uses his product. The VAST majority of his output winds up on pro cyclist's wheels in europe, re-labelled with names starting with "V," "H," or "M." If you look at a pro's bike and his tires have all black tread, but his sponsor makes ones with some funky color scheme - he's probably riding Dugasts, and he paid for them.
These tires are the best, period, and the only tires available that are still completely handmade, "like they were in the good old days," by a little old man sitting in a workshop. It's actually pretty amazing to me that his products haven't made their way to the Tri market yet. I'm not kidding, these things are astonishingly better than the crap I read people raving about here :0)
Conti's are good tires. All things considered, probably second or third best tubis currently available.
The only compelling reason to buy Tufo road tires is the flat resistance - don't get me wrong, that's a damn good reason in and of itself, but don't buy them because they're fast tires, or because you can pump them up to an utterly useless PSI level. Buy Tufos (if you do,) because their sealant actually works, and because sometimes it's better to have tires that you know aren't as fast as some others, but are definately the fastest tires out there when they have a piece of glass sticking out of them.
