LBS carries them and has never tried them but says they're supposed to be pretty good, at 240 thread count and only $30 they seem like a good deal. so anybody used or is using these? opinions?

You don't mention whether they're tubulars or clinchers or which models are they. In any case, I have sets of both clinchers (Gavia)and tubulars (Lugano) and they are all great.They seem to be manufactured (most if not all of them ) by Challenge so that's a good thing. There was a recall on their Lugano and Verona clinchers a couple of years back so watch out for that, though.

I've used the arezzos and the torinos. IMO they are one of the most comfortable tires I've used, and they really grip/roll the road very well. You feel more connected. Only problem is they aren't very tough. Mine get some nasty gashes after not to long... granted this is a lot of city riding. Considering that though they don't flat much.
