I've been using Vittoria Phoenix 32s on the Girardengo for the last year, and I love them! The tires I have are light grey tread with light buff sidewalls... people are always commenting on how they look like whitewalls. They're perfectly round, nice tread, thin supple sidewalls, seem durable so far, and at 95PSI provide a very comfortable ride.

> I have just built up some clincher wheels for my Raleigh International based on 27" Super Champion rims and NR large flange hubs. My LBS can several tires for around $20 each that look appealing (black tread, tan sidewalls). The choice is Michelin World Tour, Pasela Panaracer TG, and Vittoria Phoenix 32 Road Tire. Anybody have a recommendation? The bike is used for a mostly rural commute on decent roads and some light touring. I used tubulars last year but did have more flats (usually in the dark, always the rear tire!) than I felt like dealing with. Thanks!
