Call me a newb but why? and what's a 'running tub' ?
I guess i've still got 2-3 months before I actually make a decision on a bike, so might as well learn something.0 -

There are threads on this in the "Road Buying Advice" section. You need to factor in durability as well if you want a tyre for commuting.0 -

So true!
Fast and grippy means soft light rubber. Protection means hard heavy rubber and various other inserts like Kevlar bands which add weight.
If someone found a way to do both then it would be the only tyre on the market.Mud - Genesis Vapour CCX
Race - Fuji Norcom Straight
Sun - Cervelo R3

Good recommendations. I use Rubinho Pros, I find them fast, durable and relatively resistant to the fairy, they take a high pressure too. I hear good things about Continental GP4000s, I may try them next time.0
