re: What tire and pressure do you run on your road bike?

planning on going with foldable clinchers if that makes a difference.

I find them much more easy to mount and change tubes. I'd definitely get foldable.

As far as Grand Prix's, they get the best reviews I've seen. Gatorskin is more of a commuter take a beating type of tire. GP's are a good all around tire that people are willing to race on.



To the others running tubulars, do you really find a big difference? I see that on other websites geared toward bike geeks who are worried about the ridiculous small stuff. But to the average cycling enthusiast, are they that much better? And if I was running them in a triathlon, how much of a pain is it to deal with a flat. Can I throw on a spare and not worry about the tire rolling off the rim since I didn't get a professional glue job? I can find race rims much cheaper in tubie rims, but never rode them before.
