My only experience is with Mavic Ksyrium Elite UST w/ Mavic Yksion tires. This is my 3rd season with them and they have been very good. Last week I swapped out the Yksions for a set of Vittoria Corsa Gs. FWIW the Mavics cost about $600 for the pair and that included tires. Bought from Competitive Cyclist. Mavic has gone through some financial difficulties and I think it's harder to find the ones I have. Especially at that price.
