25mm tire recommendations?

Howdy,

I am getting a new set of clincher wheels (Velocity Aerohead/OC 36 hole
for those keeping score at home...) and I am looking for some good 25mm
tires. I want 127 tpi or more. And a TRUE 25mm. And a slick "tread".

I have some Michelin Axial Pro and Pro2 Race 700x25 but they are
actually 28mm. I like them a lot, but they are too wide.

The only tire I have so far been considering is the Avocet Fasgrip SL K
700x25.

Comments on this tire, or other suggestions? I haven't actually seen an
Avocet since I used the original Fasgrip in the 80's.

I want high tpi or otherwise supple tires for comfort and rough-road
compliance, as well as low RR.

stupid question: why not Michelin Pro2Race 700x23? If the 25 are in fact
28, maybe the 23 are 25.

I kind of hoped that was the case, but someone measured the 23's for
me, and reported that they are indeed 23.

Now I have also gotten reports that some Michelin 25's are 25, while
others are 28!

I just measured Michelin Pro2Race 700x23: 23 mm; Michelin Pro2Race
700x25: 26.5 mm.

Yup, go with the Fasgrip SL K. It's a great tire and comes in nice and
close to it's stated dimensions.

Avocet Fasgrip Carbon 12. 700x25, 127 tpi, 255 g.
All smooth. No tread pattern anywhere. I ride them and
like them very much for the feel and the traction.

Vittoria makes clincher tires at 220 tpi and 290 tpi.

I ride Vittoria Open Pro CX and Vredestein TriComps. For comfort at high
pressure the Vredesteins are great and available in 23-25-28 if you hunt.
130 PSI rolls like crazy and feels and sounds like a Clement Seta. The CX
rolls maybe a bit better and is maybe a bit tougher, but the TC's are more
comfortable.

I too use Avocet Fasgrip 700x25 tires, both the older Japanese-made,
black/tan sidewall Fasgrip Road 30 and the newer Korean-made, all black Road
25s. Both have excellent durability, traction, reliability and low rolling
resistance. Get some, you'll like it!

Are these too 25 mm tires too wide for your frame?
Or too wide for another reason? Maybe a little extra weight?
I really like these tires. I'm a heavy guy.

I must say that I also like the Pro Race 23.

What is the diff from a rider's view of different tpi? Yes, I'm new to
this sport. -paul
