I have been running Tubular tires now for a couple years. Originally the tires I took off my Mavic Ksyrium SR wheelset where Vittoria Corsa CX 25/28 Pro Series. They where glued on and I cleaned up the glue (which took hours) and decided to go with Tufo High Composite 25.

I mostly went with the Tufo tires because I thought at the time they where the only ones I could tape on. I really do not have the patience to glue and from what I read if you tape them on correctly they seem to work okay.

Well, I am on my 3rd set of Tufo tires and all I can say is they don’t last me more than 300 miles, I have read that other people have complained about that. The Vittoria that I took off had close to 1000 miles on them, can a tire like that be taped?

My question is, anyone have any suggestions for a tire that will last longer than 300 miles and works fine taped on tubular wheelsets. I am 230 lbs and am riding a 2008 Trek madone 6.5. I am happy with taping the tires, and no plan on gluing anytime soon, thanks.
