Clincher Tyre slicks 700 x 23mm

[YahudaMoon]

Hi.

Im after a pair of racing tyre slicks

I know Conti Gatorskins and all Contis are fantastic though Im after something different

Im looking for something a bit retro like the Vittoria's though the price is a bit high for my pocket. Puncture resistance aint what Im looking for either. Im after performance, weight, and something fast n cheap. Something in the price range of £35 a pair

Thanks

You can get Michelin Pro3 Race with light beige sidewalls (think they are called ivory). You can get them for about £20 each online, now Pro4 Race have come out.

How about these - bit over budget, but out of the ordinary (they ARE clinchers in spite of the name)

These look the same as Veloflex Corsa. Nice grippy tyre, but very fragile and not at all durable (I got about 1000 miles from a set). I wouldn't buy them again.

How about these tubular clinchers from Tufo? Something a bit different, and according to some combining the advantages of tubs (comfort and speed), AND clinchers (ease of use). Phenomenally light too.

I have Tufo tubs for cyclocross, and the quality is exceptional. They ain't cheap though.
