I was contemplating on buying a set for my bike, but then I decided that I just need a good racing tire so I bought or gifted myself a Michellin Giro de Italia, with their Red, Green and White a nice touch of Italian to go well with my Pinarello.....

I got the golds. I think they are a bit "stickier." I am looking forward to getting them out on my favorite course and seeing if they provide the same ride and speed.
