I'm a casual rider with a nice old Italian road bike from around 1960, and I've been threatened with bodily harm by several knowledgeable people if I make any significant changes to it. Hence, I still ride on sew-ups.
This is a good tire at a good price. I was using a kevlar tire at a better price, but kevlar tires don't work as spares, so I came back to these. They ride well and can usually be repaired when they go flat.
There used to be a lot more to choose from in this end of the market. This is the best choice among what's left. It's genuinely well-made and won't empty your wallet.
