Tyre setup.

[DaveM]

it's being implied that it's a better tyre, that's all, you're making the rest up fella

Why is it a better tyre, because it costs more

 

[rustychisel]

I'll take the middle road here. Having extensively used both - recently - I'll say the Michelin is by far the better riding tyre, but cuts to ribbons very easily. They're very supple and grip pretty well, even in the wet, somewhat (to me) surprisingly. The Rubino Pro is fairly leaden by comparison, but is likely to last about 5 times longer - or more. They also sing along okay at 125psi whereas at 100psi they're a bit of a dog (that's a bit higher than I'd normally like), but then they're pretty damn hard.

sorry alecs, not you, the original bloke moaning about the rubinos being dissed

sloppy post form me

never said it was a better tyre, just that someone implied it was, better as opposed to whatever ludicrous comparison was suggested, 'ten times' or suchlike

 

[Fab Foodie]

Well as I helped kick this off maybe I bear some responsibility...
The OP stated he had 1 good Michelin and 1 so-so Rubino, I took it to mean condition so hence putting the "Good" tyre (the Michelin) on the front.
I have no experience of the Rubino, but do have PR3's and they seem thus far to be a very grippy and inspiring tyre. If they cut badly like PR2's that will be a shame.
I'd bow to rusty's usually excellent experience on ride comparison.

There you go again....

 

[Tynan]

moaning? got all defensive and made up things and changed the subject of the thread, if it's not moaning it's something similair

 

[DaveM]

Obviously a last word freak
