Have been using Vittoria Open Corsa 25c (clinchers) for the last few months and have been impressed by the ride comfort and handling. Downside is after 4 months they are showing a few cuts and have suffered 2 punctures....one when they were pretty much new and another last night. I had Vredestein Fortezza for a long time before the Vittoria and never suffered 1 puncture and no real sign of cuts. The Vredestein Fortezza are nowhere near as soft or grippy as the Vittoria but punctures are a pain.

I have been looking for replacements and have read mixed reviews on pretty much every tyre out there. Quite liked the Michelin Pro4's but the reviews go from brilliant all the way to avoid like the plague.

My other bike, yet to be built, will be running Conti Competition Tubulars....any of the Continental Clinchers a good all round option that don't puncture too often?

Any other recommendations will be appreciated. Thanks

Have pulled the trigger on some Conti GP4000s ii from Rose....decent price and 25c are in stock.

Don't want to fit another Vittoria which I have spare so will sell that on FleaBay.
