I will say I throuoghly enjoyed the Pro4's. For a race tire they were bulletproof and I maybe had one flat besides the screw incident.
The new trend in pro racing is going toward 25's anyways, plus with the additional weight the bike will be carrying you'll be more than fine.

How did you like the Vitt's Rubino Pro Slicks? I bought a set last year on closeout and just put them on last month and they seem pretty good to me, no flats yet, great handling, smooth riding, but I only have maybe 500 miles on them. What was your opinion of longevity and problems?

I have several bike using Kenda Konstrictors and those tires were great, the one set that wore out had 4200 miles with only 1 flat during that whole time period and only two small cuts. I'm not too brand specific though, I buy whatever I can find on the deepest sale price with high reviews, I can't bring myself to justify spending more than $35 for a tire when I can get $50 to $65 tires for under $35 on sale. I got the Kendas on a closeout sale from $45 to just $19 a piece, and I paid $24 each for the Vitt's.
