schwalbe ultremo zx for me..

How do the Veloflex Corsas do for puncture resistance?

Currently use GP4000s and love their puncture proof nature and speed but the Vittoria's I have ride much nicer but have been puncturing lots recently so also in the market for some new tyres.

Hutchinson Fusion 3 best I have used

Mavic clinchers seem to have a bad rep when used in the wet. Are they different for 2013?

I use Michelin Pro 3 & 4s and Conti 4000s. Seem to work well with the pretty bad roads round my way.

The Aksion are totally different to either of the Yksion offerings.

Out of the box they are honestly terrible in the wet. Even 'scrubbed up' I was wary if the road was anything more than moist. In the dry, fine. Perfect training tyre (read: nothing amazing, wore hard and made you feel amazing when race wheels/tyres were on).

Yksion never had an issue with, even new.

[TrekUk]

not sure if they have changed but never had an issue, or a flat for that matter.

Bontrager R3'S are re branded Vittoria Rubino Pros.

If so, then they certainly aren't racing tires.

Vittoria Paves...

the tad bit of weight over the Corsas is made up for in comfort and handling IMHO

[ElNotorio]

I do all my riding now on Ultremo ZX, have never punctured and can really feel them grip in the corners.

Would recommend.

best I have used. Conti gp attack/force.

Puncture resistance is not Veloflex' strength. Comparable to Vittoria.
The 4000s is BY FAR superior in that regard.

Have they fixed the issue with their side walls bulging.

Saw many, many tyres do this.


Grip wise and wear wise, great. Just that side wall defect (at least in a run we had delivered to Australia at any rate).

How do the Veloflex Corsas do for puncture resistance?

I got about 8 months out of my Corsa 23's. This includes about 150-200 miles per week, about 10 crits and thankfully, only one puncture. I'm no lightweight either at about 88kg. I just ordered a set of the 25's and have high expectations for them.

[Tinea Pedis]

My Veloflex Master 23 were magnificent. Only one puncture. Fantastic tyre.

Would not run them in winter again (cut up a little quickly), but during the drier months they are excellent.

[WMW]

best I have used. Conti gp attack/force.

Yes, no reason to use Gp4000 for racing. Attack/Force are a little lighter and have lower Crr due to less tread.

But the really fast ones are the Supersonics since they also forgo the vectran belt.

Vittoria Corsas are fast... about as good as Attack/Force.

Ultremo ZX and Pro4s have high resistance, considering.
