What do you guys think on a dry grass course, which would be better ?

Clement LAS + Latex at higher pressure
or
Clement PDX tubular ?
or maybe ...
rear tubular LAS, PDX front tubular.

debating. Current wheels are tubulars with PDX that I ran last year on every race, that ended 90% dry. I still manage fine.

I would go tubular MXP for dry to slightly damp grass. I bought some clincher LAS to try tubeless, which doesn't work, but what i did not like about them was that they measured almost 41 wide, nowhere near the advertised 33. They are super supple though. Never actually rode them. I have tried Vittoria cross XN clinchers and they seal up tubeless great and performed great in dry grass, I'm not confident in racing them though when I have some Grifo tubulars to go to.

Thanks. I guess not much to gain in nit using my pdx tubular. I'll check if I can find a deal on some mxp or maybe just one for the rear. I like the pdx they are like velcro on grass.
