Can anyone reccomend a good tire for use at IMCdA
There is such a selection out there and I wanted to hear what people have to say regarding particular brands.

Same goes for tubes...any suggestions?

I've always seen good technical data, and reviews on Michelin Pro 2 race. Their Rolling resistance data was third of 40 or so tires in the Tour magaine test and they weighed way less than the two that beat them

I have had good experiance with the Michelin ones, I recently (last summer) got Contenental (forget which model, the high end racing ones) for my Tri bike, and it has held good on clean dry pavment while making a 90degree turn at over 40 kmh

this may sound crazy, but last year i put on continental gatorskins from my fixed gear for the puncture resistance, i guess i got it into my head that i'd rather be safe than run the risk of an ultralight tire + punctures for the difference in weight and rolling resistance it gave me.

I've also use michelin pro race 2....good tires
