The two clincher tires I've really loved over the past year for their smoothness have been the Soma Supple Vitesse (though I have them in 33 and a tan sidewall), and the Veloflex Masters in 28's--- these are great, though I guess Veloflex doesn't make that exact tire any more? Looking at their web site, the Corsa Evo clincher seems to be the closest to the Master. I've really liked all the Veloflex tires I've used, mostly their tubulars...
I really don't love Continental tires, though I rode them for years. And the one set of Gatorskins I tried, well.... it felt like riding on rocks. When people talk about how durable they are, I say "well, they better be!" I ride through Boston city streets, and I feel like with a little care I can avoid most sharp debris--- I still like my supple tires. Life is too short to ride on stiff tires. I wish I felt otherwise, as the price of good tires is by far the most painful part of this hobby....
