New tire help
 
Hey all, in need of a pair of new tires. Currently I'm riding Vittoria Randonneur 28c in the rear and a Armadillo 23c up front. The tires I bought about two years ago and have been awesome. Never got a flat on the Vittoria, the Armadillo I got like 3 to 4. I was considering getting two sets of Randonneurs at 25c or two sets of Zaffiro Pro II at 25c. Wanted to all of you guys take on it. I live in new york city and commute on the roads here but also do my training in Central park and Long Island NY. All help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I've got a 28c Rando/rear and a 23c Diamante Pro/front on my Dodici and am really happy with that combo. If you don't want to keep it a little more cost effective, go with a Rando/Zaffiro.

Just wondering scrod; what's the PSI you have on your rear rando?

I typically keep it around 110 for maximum booyeah.

Thanks man! Well it's time for new tires and I was thinking about going Vittoria Randonneur again but this time in 25c rear with a 23c front. I'll look into the Diamante Pro's.

Did some research on the Vittoria Diamante Pro, it has mixed reviews of course. I think I'd give that a shot for a front tire. In the rear I'm either looking at another Randonneur or the Zaffiro Pro II. Also with my new Leader 735 will 28c tire be fine slammed? I was thinking of going 25c in the rear for a tighter ride. Thought?
