Sprinters are good- butyl tube so hold air well.
Running one of these now & have got them for as little as $35 shipped.

I don't use any tires other than MAxxis on my bikes. They're as solid and puncture proof as they come.. fast and smooth, love them. You can't go wrong with one of their tires. My Tubulars have the Campiones on them, (But obviously I haven't used those yet, lol)

Here they are:
Only 1060g Ultra Light 20.5mm or 23mm width 24mm tubular carbon wheelset | eBay
$468 delivered. A little heavier than mine probably due to using slightly heavier hubs. Maybe the spokes aren't quite as light either. Their hubs are listed at 285g/pr. The ones I used were about 260 g/pr. Also their spokes aren't Sapim, so could be just a touch heavier. But overall a very good deal.

I like the vittoria cx front and Pave on the rear, they have great grip and last a long time

I use the CXs both front and rear, but beware the CXs at least will be disappearing. They have been replaced with a higher technology tire that right now costs a lot more.
