yeah, pretty much same here, I would use Tubasti for my training wheels, especially the wheels I'd use for the 'rougher' rides... Clement was always used for team race wheels (and Vittoria in a pinch), once on, you often had to use pliers to get the tire started for getting off. Avoided Wolber cement - that stuff was brittle and also not the best grip.
Could even ride Tubasti well into winter - but the down side of Tubasti was, it would pick up road crud and within a day of wet, the tires all looked like their mascara ran... LOL!
Crooked Tires... some were so bad, when you rode behind someone who had some, it looked like the wheel had a huge wobble... LOL!
My training tires usually were Barums, and they generally had that 'wandering tread' look... LOL! But they wore like iron and were amazing in the wet.
Fun remembering back, but I don;t think I'd want to go back to sewups... Yeah, I rode sewups from 68 until '89 - 90' ish? happy to leave that in memories...
Ride On
