I don't know how sashae is fairing with them, but I hated the fortezza se's. They're sticky as hell - awesome for road bikes and track-only track bikes - but for the street on a fixed gear they're just a bad investment. I blew through the rear in less than 2 weeks of heavy riding. I also wouldn't recommend them for the front if you're an aggressive/pot-hole-jumping/curb-bongoing/ped-dodging kind of rider. I know Michelin makes a baby-blue tire (the model escapes me), but even those are best saved for the front-only. Apparently light blue tires only come in sissy models?
