Another update on the training tires

I've re-tallied them as I felt I was introducing errors and added the
negative votes for Gatorskins and Armadillos and merged the
Roubaix/Armadillo votes.

I won't be cross referencing tires vs. racing category (ability) or
age (experience) or income (cost). ;)

10 -2 Conti Gatorskins
4 Bontrager Race Lite Hard Case
3 -2 Specialized Roubaix Armadillos
2 Conti 4000
2 Conti 4 Seasons
2 Vittoria Diamanté
1 Conti Ultra
1 Maxxis Detonators
1 MIchelin Krylion
1 Serfas Seca
1 Schalbe Durano S
1 Schalbe Marathons
1 Vittoria Rubino
1 Continental Giro Tubulars
1 Anything under $10

I haven't needed to buy tires in 13 years (due to not riding).

So what's a good tire now?

I'm on a budget so a good durability-to-cost ratio is most important,
weight is next and ride after that (it would be best if it didn't ride
like a brick).

Thanks
Michael Medina.

Bontrager Race Lite Hard Case.  Better performance than the Armadillo and great
flat protection.
