well, Im a bit over the 3 dollar mark with maxxis xephyrs at around 100 and had no problems except that the tire did wear out only after about 800 miles... I ride the 23 bontrager race lites at about the same so far no problems... seems the tire is a bit stiffer than the maxxis tires were so at least at this point, I am not worried about pinch flats...
