i agree, if you can get them locally, i guess.
i've pretty much have moved to the Vittoria Corsa line of tires, except for touring, in both clincher and tubular. but i'll admit i run ultra lite tuffy tire liners in them, because where i ride, thorns are a menace and buying thorn proof tires is not cost-effective, nor do i find them as pleasant to ride on as regular tires.
