Does anyone here have experience with Pariba tires? Apparently it's a division of Vredesteijn. I found a great deal on the Pariba Pro Course. This reviewer seems to like them a lot: http://www.cyclingnews.com/tech/?id=2002/reviews/pariba_pro-course

I have a set of Pro Courses on my Steamroller and love 'em. I got them from Nashbar, $24 ea. on sale about a year ago. Looking to buy another set. Where is this great deal you're talking about?

Thanks, I found them on a Dutch online shop (futurumshop.nl).You get 4 tires for 44 Euro (US$50). I think I will order them and keep 2 for spare.

Fixer, how would you rate these in terms of wear and puncture resistance? I can't find any info on pariba tires but they look like they aren't very durable. I realize the strength of these tires is in their comfort and handling but I am no racer so I need some durability.
