Torelli
Gavia ~ 
Torelli
Torino ~ An excellent training tire that surpasses the performance of other tires in this price range as well as many more expensive tires.

Color is all black. Width is 23mm.
Michelin Pro3 Race ~
Yes, in stock now!New for 2008, new dual-compound tread derived from the Moto GP division. According to Michelin, the new tread delivers 20% more straight line grip than the Pro˛ Race, while the new shoulder rubber offers a huge 40% improvement. Michelin reports that the Moto GP compounds are also more readily deformable than before to help maintain grip on coarser pavement and reduce rolling resistance. For added security, the Proł Race casing adds a new High Density Puncture Protector (HDPP) nylon belt, yet total weight is still just 200 grams for the 700x23c size. Color is dark gray with black sidewalls.

Michelin
Speedium ~ A high tech yet affordable folding tire from Michelin. At 285 grams, it's reasonably lightweight, comfortable, and very durable.
VeloFlex Pave
~ Simply, the finest riding clincher tire in the world. It's not
as durable as the Michelin Axial Pros or the Torelli PGV, but it has a supple
ride with
stick and feel that no other tire matches. Yet
due to it's genuine Kevlar belt under the tread, it's not fragile.
Handmade in Italy, this is the tire that defines GREAT ride.
The casing is handmade 300 tpi cotton-poly with Kevlar beads. After Kyle rode
this tire for 10 miles, he stopped at a pay phone and called back to the shop to
rant about how wonderfully these ride. We think you will agree. Size = 700
x 22mm. Weight = 180 grams. Inflate
to 100-155 psi.
"Probably the best tire out there. The buoyant ride of a light tubular without the glue. The Pave smoothes even the most crumble asphalt, knifes through corners wet and dry and accelerates like a wild night in Vegas!" - Bicycling Magazine, Dec 2003
Vittoria Open Corsa Evo CX ~ "I simply couldn't ignore the
graceful ride the Open Corsas served up.
Sticking to the pavement in sharp corners with the best of them, they also
behaved beautifully on flat open roads." Bicyclist,

polyester core with a wound cotton covering mated to a tread of Kevlar 3D
compound for great grip and excellent durability. Weight of 700 x 23 = 230
grams.
