I am looking for new tires for my bike. I want something that has a nice grippy feel, and is durable. The choices I have narrowed it down to are. Vittoria Open Corsa CX or Veloflex Pave. Any thoughts or other suggestions?

Vredestein Fortezza Tri Comp. Sturdy, light, fast, and grippy.

oh, there is a world of tires out there. I got the conti GP3000s. they are really nicely riding tires, a lot better then the IRC redstorms that I had before.

If you end up narrowing it down to vredestien, conti, or michelin, check out biketiresdirect.com. they got tires a crazy insane discounts.

I have a set of Vittorias right now. They have been great thus far. I only have about 300 miles on them though. No punctures, yet,,,,,,, knock on wood. :D

I have a set of Vittoria Rubino Pro on my one bike right now, been a excellent tire. Feels nice and fast, and no flast in over a month now! I also have a set of Vredestein Fortezza Tri Comp on my road bike, I like the higher pressure you get out of them.

According to Vittoria's website the Open Corsa EVO CX is a clincher and the Corsa EVO CX is a tubular.

Anyway, I have Vittoria Rubino Intrepid PRB Kevlar 3D Compound on my commuter. Great tire. :thumbup:

Yep. Open usually refers to clinchers, whether describing rims or tires. Another site to check out if you're looking at tires is http://www.worldclasscycles.com/. Good prices and good to do business with.

P.S. Hey, Ron, good tag line.
