Get tubulars. Lighter for a given height. And you can go tall in the back.

I know the HED line best so I'd get Stinger 9 rear, Stinger 9 front, Stinger 6 front (or maybe Stinger 4). One tall wheel for the rear, a tall and a shorter wheel for the front. (9=90, 6=60, 4=40mm tall)

I've run my Stinger 6s in airfield crits near the shore with gusty winds, also at Bethel which is historically windy, no problems. If I could get two more wheels I'd get a Stinger 9 rear and a Stinger 4 front. If I had to choose just one I'd choose the Stinger 9 rear, sell the Stinger 6 rear, and try and get a Stinger 4 front, leaving me with a S9 rear, S6 and S4 front.

If you only race on them (and sometimes try them out in training to check them over) tubulars aren't a big deal, esp with a deep tire well like the Stingers have.
