I like the Tufo Elite Road tire very much. It is fairly tough, quite round, true, and very stiff. Decent wear too, especially on a front wheel. I like to run an Elite Road Rear and one of their 215 gram tires in the front, an S3 lite 215 for example, or a HICC (hi-mileage tire) 215. Their tires are somewhat vulnerable to punctures, so watch out for glass, don't ride in the gutter, and use the sealant (it works on non-Tufo tires, too). If you're riding them unsupported, carry a spare and some of the sealant. By the way, I've had some problems with their glue tape slipping on the rim fore-aft in the rain. Never rolled one, but the valve became cock-eyed, causing the tire to have a bump. I went back to gluing. Their 'extreme' glue tape would probably be ok in the rain. Post Extras
