Hi,
I'm looking for some low-profile and clean-looking gumwall tires such as these. Can anybody recommend some good brands and models? I'm currently riding 700x23C's.



Thanks in advance.

Veloflex Pave.

Incredible tire....

Agreed, but rather fragile. I ride Vittoria Open Corsa CX's.

Interesting. While I found them not be a particularly high mileage tire, the ones I've had were surprisingly durable.

Thanks for the tips guys. Both look great.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by "fragile?" Will it pose a problem for a casual rider (a 20 minute commute and the weekend stroll every now and then).

What would you guys say the biggest reason is that these tires cost twice as much as something like the Panaracer Paselas? I assume they are higher quality/performance, but as a casual rider what are the biggest advantages I will notice by riding these?

Thanks

Arkistan - the Panaracers are decent tires for your commutes and weekend strolls. The Veloflex and the Vittoria's are more performance/racing oriented with prices to match.

Thanks. I just realized this forum is mostly oriented toward racing so your recommendations make total sense.
