BTW- what are these Rubinos you speak of? I have Vittoria Rubinos, but I presumke you are not referring to those (no one would ever accuse them of being tough).
The vittoria randonneurs are just as tough if not tougher than the dillos.
About the Rubinos - Yes they are your standard wirebead rubino. Nothing real tough, but come with kevlar belt (PRB). As I said so far I had great luck with them and find them a nice compromise betw. durability and ride quality. If I have to patch a tube once a month because of riding them that would be totally worth it. What annoyes me are tires like the gators that claim to be all tough and burley and then I am still patching tubes AND dealing with an inferior ride quality. I might as well patch AND ride something nice.
