    I like conti gp4000s but the 23mm on my 21mm rim wheels measures as 24.6, on my 23mm rim wheels its 25.5mm if I recall(+/ -0.1mm).
    i have very tight clearances on 1 of my frames, are schwalbe closer to 23mm in actual size?

    I think veloflex corsas claim to be 22mm and they're very high performance.

    I have Schwalbe Ultremo ZXs, 700 X 23.
    I have them on 21mm rims, The tyres actually measure 25mm.
    That's with 120 lbs. pressure

    I also have Vittoria Diamante Pro, 700 X 23 on 21mm rims.
    They actually measure 24.5mm, 120 pounds pressure.

    +1 The best you can get until FMB or Dugast start doing clinchers.
