I have two questions for Mr "glueit"... First, (unless there's been
some kind of celestial shift), don't you have that backwards? and
Second, have you seen a rush by trackies to get wired-on track tires
(if there is there such a thing)?
And one observation... The choice might depend on what the rims are
that you have. On the road, the differences seem to be kind of
academic. Cost for a similarly "durable" (OK, a twenty or thirty
dollar tire/tube) or race-able tire (say, a tire combination that
costs a bit over twice that) is similar, "tire life" is similar, and
the trade off seems to be that the tub is harder to repair (and
frequently is just discarded) but frankly, less often in need of repair.
