Hey can anyone recommend me some good durable tires at a good price?

My Serotta LT has old Continental tires on it - and they are showing signs of age (cracking a bit etc.)

I'd like to replace them with a set of 700x23 tires and would love to get some recommendations and leads to good deals since I'm on a mega tight budget of late.

I'd even consider slightly used if someone has some tires they just didn't dig for one reason or another.

Thanks.

I've got Conti Ultra 2000s. At 120psi, they've held up well for me to both road and trainer miles.

I think it was $22 at my LBS, so you can probably get them cheaper online.

I agree, but they are a little soft. If you can find some Vredsteins on sale, they are nice.

If you check your Serotta owners manual you'll find that anything less than Vitorria Open Corsa will have a dramatic negative impact on your bikes chi-chi factor. :)
