Here are some features that would be nice:
- 700x32C
- Lightweight for their size
- Low rolling resistance
- High TPI
- Folding bead preferable
- Clencher, not tubular
- 100 PSI capable
- $90 U.S. or less per pair
- Not Gatorskins
- Not Kendas
Seems like a performance oriented 32C tire is a bit of an oxymoron, however, they are abundant for touring.
Thank you!

-rediculously fast rolling, even at lower pressures
-rediculously smooth.
-max pressure is something like 85 or 90 psi, but unless you are really heavy, there is absolutely no reason to run these at 100psi.
$76 a tire, and worth every penny. You will not believe what a difference these make in the ride. It does not get any more “high performance” than this. The downside is that they do not last as long as most good tires.
