Has anyone used Champion Tires?
they claim to be handmade in the old
Clement factory using the same molds.
No, they do not offer Seta Silks.
but they do have more tubulars than
open tubulars (as they call em).
Just wondered since their prices are
pretty good. (I know, Don't ride
cheap Tubulars but . . . )

thanks,
Marty

In the world of tires - tires are just tires. Not much new there. Some companies are making light tires that tend to last next to nothing but they sell tons because they are light.

In my opinion the best tubular by far in the market is the Vittoria high end. All kevlar with latex tube and extra goodies. They will by far outlast any other tire in the market.

Beware as in the upcoming year there will be many imitations hitting the market. I already seen inferior Conti GP3000s hit the market. Many mail order discount firms will offer as they can sell much cheaper. So beware.
