Forté Pro DC Road Tires?
I was at performance and they convinced me that these are good tires and work well. Does anytone have any experience with them? I'm looking for a decent all around road tire for training, communting, and some longer rides.

They are actually not bad at all, they look nice and they work well. I used to use them until I shredded them up in an accident...

Great tires for the money- I guess someone said they got a pair for like 18 bucks each?
Anyway, I had issues before a race and a roomate gave me a new set- little heavier than claimed in the weight dept... 218g each, rather than the posted 195... but that's comparable with Conti GP 4000's and Vredestein TriComps...
Anyway, they performed admirably- the up-close fit and finish isn't the best, the colored stripes aren't laid straight, so it gives the illusion that your wheel is out of true when spinning, but if you can get past the asthetics they're a great performing wheel for the buck.
That being said, I still ride Vredesteins... train on Fortezza TriComps and race on Fortezza SL's...
I still have the set of Pro DC's mentioned above- one race on them. If you want them, they're yours for 20 bucks shipped.
