Hi all,

I've used low to mid-level Continental clinchers (e.g., Ultra
3000) on my road bike for year, but don't see much from them
that's reasonably priced now except for perhaps the UltraSport for
~$15-20. I'm a recreational rider, and would like some tire
recommendations--either Continental or other.

Thanks!

One of my favorites, but now made in Korea and more like $20 at
Nashbar.

They measure 25 mm on my rims.

Hard to buy a 'bad' tire at a local bike shop. Many good tires out
there, both wire and folding. Ritchey, Conti, Vittoria, IRC, Kenda,
etc.....

There are many great tires, so at random, I'll recommend IRC Road
Winner II Duro 700x28 tires at Nashbar for $13. Super ride, flat
resistant, what more ya want?
