I've tried just about the whole Conti range and they all suck imho.

Are the Tufo's not a very heavy tubby?  I currently have got Zipp tubbies on, first set of Tubbie wheels.  Haven't had one flat, but they did not feel very stable on the Amashova's downhills.  Perhaps it is just me.

tufo have the lightest tubbie on the market if i am not mistaken they are used on all the cervelo show bikes because they are lighter than any other tubbie stewart can get hold of!!!!

Zipp tubbies are Vittorias with dimples, so should be very similar.

 

I got good milage out of some Tufos, but according to some tyre tests I've seen, you have to pump them very hard to get good rolling resistance. I hate pumping my tires very hard, because they then ride like crap, much too bumpy.

 

Switching to Conti, no complaints so far.
