I've been riding Axial Pro's for a while and would like to try another type. The Axial Pro's are good, but the 700x23's seem more like 25's in reality. I'm also 200 lbs and find that it's hard to get them pumped up to the point where the rear tire doesn't squish out a bit (I'm currently inflating to 120 or so). They seem to lose the strength in the sidewall as they age, but that may be true of all tires.
I'd also like something that might go with the wild Open Pro citron yellow/green rims I have. All black works, but green or red stripes might also be compatible.

At 200 lbs, something wider than 23mm is a good thing. My experience is that Michelins are usually very close to their advertised width. Did you measure them with a caliper?
