Default I have type Es.....like them a lot.
Easy to clean, pretty light, good finish.

Some have said that Borbets are soft....but here in FL I have had no problems with them at all.

I have Borbet Type S's and I think they are too soft for CT roads . . . it all depens on your road conditions in your area.
