My Vittoria Diamante Pro Light tires have several slices and holes in them with less than 500 miles. Apparantly I should have saved them for race days
These are the stock tires on my Le Champion SL, so having such a light bike I don't really want to add bricks to the wheels, but I need something that can hold up to every day training on normal roads. I'm amazed at how thin these tires are, even on the contact patch.
Is there a tire that is both light enough for race days and durable enough for training? I'm wondering if I should be having the same thoughts about wheelset before I destroy the beautiful CR-420s.
If you had to choose one tire to stay on for both training and races, what would it be? (Conti grand prix 4000?)
What's the best race only tire? (probably what I had, light and grippy, but need to replace every other race)
What's the best training tire? (big treaded wire beads, so that the race tires feel better
