meh. overrated, you want grip and ride quality get vittoria open cx, not cheap though. i've been using vittoria rubinos pros good ride especially if you can fit the 28s, and 10x less cuts and cheaper. bought 4 for $28 a piece

Thanks, Beanz! I've been waiting for these to go on sale! They are over $65 at the LBS. I've got relatively new ones on the bike now so these are backups to wait for service. Should be good for at least another year before I have to buy again.

Who am I to argue? Funny though, PBK, order one for $38 or two for $112 (twin pack)...no brainer
I wasn't do tire reviews. Since so many people use this tire, I've been asked many times by other riders to inform them when they go on sale. Thanks for the review though!

I use Vittoria Rubino III and they are great tyres at half the price of the Contis. They usually last me 4,000-5000 miles. The only "con" - the Vittorias are a bítch to put on the first time.

IMHO PBK has really gone downhill the last couple of years, everything is so much more expensive these days. $38 for contis is good but you can get a pair of veloflex masters at ribble for $40 anytime without a special sale. for my money, ill take the veloflex over contis any day of the week.

I'll be trying them as soon as my current set of Pro3 tires dies.
