Since my beloved GP4000s is no longer made, I'm wondering what other clincher alternatives people might recommend?
Any thoughts on the The Vittoria Open Corsa?

BUT I prefer Vittoria anyway.

Good to hear on the Vittorias. Any model in particular?

A new Pro Race picks up grit right away from the road. All it takes is a few hundred feet. So, right away wipe it off. Last time I forgot but the tire will remind you pretty quick. Last time I held the bike and rolled the tire over some grass to rub it off. Problem fixed.

A friend had Schwalbes (I don't know which model, but he tends to high end), they were all cut up in no time. He is now riding Conti 4000S.Cliveds said:I think the new Schwalbe One is the top clincher right now. Used the Vittoria CX for year but feel the Schwalbe is better allround.
