Tire choices
I need new tires I am wondering if you all could chime in on your experiences.
I am considering the following tires (clinchers):
Veloflex Black
Veloflex Pave
Vittoria Rubino Pro
Continental Grand Prix
All of these were suggested by my local LBS, but, they sell all of these tires so I am not entirely sure these are all of the choices I should be considering.
thanks in advance.

I've been using Conti GP 3000, GP 4000, and now GP 4000S for several years. I use them for flat protection. I average 1500-2000 miles between flats. Lots of a-holes around here who chuck their beer bottles out the car window so there's lots of glass and other debris on the roads.

I've been a Michelin man lately...two pairs of Krylions that were great, and now I'm on a pair of PR2's and they're great so far as well.

Veloflex Black - light, great tire if you're looking for a tubular feel. Low mileage.
Veloflex Pave - Same as the black's
Vittoria Rubino Pro - good and durable - Higher Mileage
Continental Grand Prix - Nice ride, if you're looking at the 4000 S good durability/performance
It all comes down to what you want out of the tires.
