    Get a normal Conti tyre.
    Get a Stanley blade.
    Slash the Conti tyre to ribbons.

    Same as a Vittoria - you just get to the end state a tiny tiny bit faster.

    Merlin - 17 euro each for standard rubino excluding postage.

    PBK - 27 euro each for the pro.

    I bought two rubinos from Merlin for 30 euro, purely because they were the cheapest, half decent tyre I could find. Happy so far, I've even raced on them a few times and found them good in the corners. Certainly a little more "dead" feeling than the continentals. I'm not sure what Tunney means though, they are quite robust. I did have an Evo Corsa CX ages ago, best tyre I've ridden on but it did get shredded to pieces quite easily. Maybe that's what he means?

    Think Bike in Rathmines have Vittoria rubinos for about 20 euros and they'll put them on for you for free.....give them a buzz. Plus they may just restore your faith in LBSs (also for free)

    I was in Humphreys last week and I think he has them, maybe give him a call first though just to be sure.
