Anyone got any suggestions for a 27 mm clincher tyre that I could use for the Paris-Roubaix sportive?

I know the Vittoria Open Paves are meant to be the business, but the clincher version only comes in 24 mm.

    Continental GP 4 Seasons are available in 28mm & may be an alternate worth considering.

    Have you got enough clearance to run them?

    Yup, check clearances first - many frames struggle with 25mm and you'll need a couple of extra mm clearance for mud
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..

    OK, will do, but presuming clearance is OK....?

    25mm Pro Race 3 run fat - mine measure up at 26mm and I've heard other people report this too. They'd probably be my choice, as they run nice and supple too, plus bags of wet grip if things get greasy on the pave :-)

    Thanks all for the advice. Got some 28 mm Conti Gatorskins and they seem to fit OK on my Tarmac with a good few mm clearance.
