Oh, I'm sorry, I use several brands, mostly whatever I can find on a steep discount closeout price. But I prefer Hutchinson Intensive Hardskin I really like, Vittoria Rubino Pro Slick which I also really like, and had good luck with Kenda (Konstrictor but they're no longer made) too. I also like Specialized Roubaix Pro tires but they rarely go on sale but about a month ago I got two tires for the price of one, so when they do go on sale I usually grab a pair. I never pay more than $32 for a tire and routinely get tires that are worth at least twice retail then what I paid.
To add a note, I always read as many reviews as I can find before I buy a tire.
