According to his website Lance uses Hutchinson tires, clinchers for training and sewups for racing. There's also more cool stuff about him at https://www.lancearmstrong.com/lance/...2.nsf/html/FAQ
Hope this helps!

Last year he got new tires every day, the other team members every other day.
This raises an interesting statistical question, "Is a wheel that has already shown a resistance to flatting and an absence of flaws a higher or lower risk than an unproven wheel hanging in the mech trailer waiting for the glue to dry?"
