I like the Vittoria Rubino Pro tire pretty well. I bought two of the
folding version, then two more. Finally, I found that my bike shop had
the non-folding version hanging on their tire rack, and I bought two
more of those. I generally use one front tire to two or more rear
tires. I got the folding tires for $28, and the non-folding cost under $20.

These tires were very cut resistant compared to the Michelin Pro Race2
that I'm riding now. (I got a "deal" on the Michelins through a fellow
club member - $35 each.) When I've used these tires up, I'm planning to
go back to the Vittorias.

The durability of the Vittorias seems pretty good, too. I think I
averaged about 5,000 km (3,000+ miles) on the rear mounted tires. They
are probably a bit better than the Michelins in this regard. I read
that Michelin has one tire that is "high(er) mileage" - maybe it was the
Carbon.

Hope this helps!
