continental gran prix clinchers 120 psi
What do you like about the gran prix's vs the gatorskins? I'm not too worried about flats, but the gatorskins have such great reviews all around I was going to go with them.
eta: I was 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.
