PSA (?) some Specialized clincher road tires on Sale
I bought 3 of the Turbo Cotton clincher in 26mm for $50usd reduced from $80. 320 tpi. They also have it in 28mm at same price
the $55 turbo pro was reduced to $40, 24mm is the only width available.
maybe more, I bought and ran - I like their tires. These for the Bianchi Vittoria and will try TPU tubes for first time.
did not look at the tubulars. Got a bunch of 27mm Veloflex to use first.

Here's the one I bought.
Turbo Cotton LTD | Specialized.com
Turbo Pro | Specialized.com.
This is the $40. In 24mm
S-Works Turbo | Specialized.com
This is the S-Works Turbo $50, 24mm
S-Works, in my experience, had a short life - as expected for the full race version
you're welcome

i really liked the ride quality and speed of the 26mm turbo cottons.... but man, they did NOT last very long as rears. <1,000 miles in perfect conditions, and a hint of a flat would cause delamination.

My experience was similar with 2 pair of turbo tubulars, from a few years back. Great riding tire, short tread life.
