Fantastic tires.
I ride Master 23s daily and they are the nicest "high performance" clincher I have ever ridden.
Great performance on a wide variety of surfaces.
Heck, I even rode a two mile section of class 5 the other day and they were fine.
No durability issues whatsoever.
Cheap too, if you know where to look. I pay less than $35 when they are on sale.
The Vittorias are a very similar performance clincher made for "enthusiastic" sport riding and I have had no durability issues whatsoever.
I used to pick those up at Velomine for $50, although the price has been sneaking up lately on all tires.
Try looking at an online source called Nonstop Ciclismo. They had them for around $50.
Another tire you should check out is the Deda Tre RC Corsa.
Similar in performance to the other two, at about the same price.
Really, a very nice clincher for the $$$.
...and all of these are appropriate for our C&V bicycles.
Here's a pic of the Veloflex Master 23s on my daily rider.
