Been using Conti’s for eons but just picked up a set of these. They got high reviews on the roadbikereview site. Are you guys happy with them?
So far (1 race, 210 miles on them), so good. Reasonably light, nice ride, seem to be well made. Running 19/21 on 404s with 21mm spare.
About 5 races on mine. I run the wider version (21?) at 100 psi. They’re smooth and fast and have lasted two years so far without showing any signs of drying out or cracking. I also have two spares that I keep on old rims.
I just re-glued the one on my 404 front wheel, and it still looks new.
Had the best season of my life last year with S3 Lites on my HED Jet front, and Disc rear.
Been using them for 3 years and I never got any puncture. They are a bit harsh when around max pressure but thats normal given the huge pressure.
I have no idea if the tufo sealant works because i never notice any kind of puncture during training ride.

These are great. The S3 Lite HiCC is my favorite of the 700c models.
The new Elite Jets give the crazy high end (Veloflex, Clement Seta, Dugast, etc.) a run for the money in suppleness but you get Tufo’s superior puncture resistance.
Probably the most versitile company as they have a tire for just about everything.

I liked my tufo’s so much I just bought 2 more. 4 of the 5 race wheels I own will have tufo rubber on them.
I’ve been riding and racing with Tufos for 2 years and I’ve never had a flat with them. I can’t say that for any other brand I have used. Tufos Rock!!
I have some 21’s on my 650c Zipp 909 set and I run them at 150psi with Tufo sealant. I trust them so much I just bought another pair, this time 19’s for my nimbles! These are great tubulars.
Do these good reviews hold for the TUFO tubular-clinchner?
