Subjective of course, but for me, Vredestein Fortezza and Fortezza Tri-Comp have proven to be the best all-around clinchers (they don't feel quite as good to me as the Michelin ProRace2, but they last a lot longer and for the track you can run a LOT of pressure in them if you so desire (they'll take 175 PSI -- bad for your rims -- but if you're not braking you can run over 130), so they make a lot of sense for the sorta-velodrome-sorta-road-racing surface at Kissena. I'm not a skidder save in case of absolute emergency, so I don't really give that aspect of tire life much thought.

Have you been running the Conti Supersonics or Vittoria Ultraspeeds that came with that Fuji? Those tires feel really great as well, but don't have much of a life expectancy (they're really meant as race-day-only tires), so I wouldn't be surprised if they wore quickly.
