Rolling Resistance: Tires That Make You Feel Like You Can Fly

If you are used to spending $10 on a latte and a piece of cheesecake, skip a few weekends of dessert, and buy yourself some tires that make you feel like you can fly. You will find that the best tires are not inexpensive, and that they are rarely sold for less than manufacturer suggested retail price.

For those who ride clinchers, the top three best rolling tires are as follows:

• Deda Tre Giro D'Italia



• Vittoria Open Corsa Evo CX



• Michelin Pro 2 Race which will soon become Michelin Pro 3 Race
