Does anyone know what the difference is between the range of Vittoria tubular tires? I am mainly looking at the Corsa SR,Corsa CX and the Pave CG. I see on there site that the SR and the CG are listed as extreme condition tires where the CX is a "all condition" tire.
Does the SR and the CG have a bit more puncture protection than the CX? The CG is 25mm vs. 23 and 25 for the CX vs 24mm for the SR.
I will be mounting these on a set of HED C2 as well as a set of HED stinger 5 wheels.

Thanks Brian

from vittoria's info the sr is essentially a cx with a more pronounced tread pattern which may give a bit more grip in some conditions

cg same again, but thicker rubber so any pointy bit have to penetrate further before they can cause a puncture

For completeness, the Pave is designed for colder, wetter conditions, so as well as coming up quite fat and having decent puncture protection, it's got a soft compound which wears quite fast once the weather warms up and dries out.
