As joepac said, Schwalbe Ones are nice too. But I'll be trying the G+ next.

What a match !
I have tested both and I have to say that it's hard to decide.
Comfort: Vittoria is by far better
Power transfer: Vittoria is good but Conti is probably the best
Speed in curves: I feel more confident with Vittoria but It's probably very close and I like Conti too
Puncture resistance: I have more little holes in the tire after 2000km on the Vittoria than on the Conti. I prefer Conti but Vittoria is not ridiculous
Speed: I cannot say, but I'm sure there are not 10W of difference between these 2 products, maybe Vittoria is a little better.
So, Vittoria is a revolution thanks to the feeling that you have with the road. Conti remains a product without drawbacks. For US roads I prefer Conti. For EU roads in general, I prefer Vittoria.

Given the new corsa has the same casing as the pave puncture resistance will be decent. The old corsa's are the only tyre I ever wore out. I knew when they were worn because they started to puncture every ride. Once it happens twice tyre in the bin. Happens after around 15000 miles. However I will use the corsa speed tubeless when it arrives but other wise IRC tubeless for me.

I suppose it's 1500 miles?

I have the Open Corsa CX III. They fit real loose on the rims. Very ez to take on and off without tire levers. However, I worry about a heat related blow off. I probably won't use them again and will stick with the Conti 4000 S's. Otherwise they were the best riding tires I've had. The back one did suffer a sidewall cut and I had to replace it before it wore out.
105kg rider and never had a flat with the Contis @ 120psi.
Flat spot a bit if you lock up, as with any tyre.
Just picked up some Schwalbe Ones in 23c to try out...

I've used the conti's for many years and recently decided to switch to the Pirelli Zero's. They roll extremely well and handle great. In the dry. In the wet they're an abomination. Scary as hell and I've decided to go back to the conti's. Just a much safer tyre. The Pirelli's also were nowhere near as ouncture proof as the conti's.

I've also found the P Zero's traction to be lacking in the wet. Great in the dry.jefftillack wrote: ↑Sun Oct 28, 2018 10:17 pmI've used the conti's for many years and recently decided to switch to the Pirelli Zero's. They roll extremely well and handle great.

GP4KII's are faultless, just not extraordinary on any dimension. I run them on my TT bike because the tire shape is more aero / egg-shaped.
My vote is for the Corsa G+. It's also nice to have some color options.

I have run both recoently. No faults with the g+ (i prefer the grey walls to tan) but the contis apparently have less rolling resistance in the lower pressure range. I also prefer the all black look of the contis.
For me the contis stay.
