I have been running Vittoria Corsa GII 28mm since 2019. With a latex tube and now Revoloop 28mm. I ride with 78 PSI back and front—absolutely lovely feel. For winter, I ride Hell of the north with the same tube. I have tried the TC, but much more flats.
I look forward to seeing what the Corsa pro is all about.

I get around 2000 miles out of a rear Turbo Cotton, and 3000 from a front. I run 28mm Hell

Been reading all the tire (tubeless) threads and I appreciate all y'alls deep research and... I'm more confused than ever. I'll need some new racing tires for team wheels (Zipp 303 Firecrest, so hookless) and the better rolling tires seem to have low puncture resitance, others seem to unthread, others... oy.
Continental Grand Prix 5000 have excellent puncture and rolling resistance and it's even better when paired with latex tubes:twoangstroms wrote: ↑Tue Mar 28, 2023 5:10 amBeen reading all the tire (tubeless) threads and I appreciate all y'alls deep research and...

Michelin Power Cup, Pirelli P Zero Race 4S and Veloflex Corsa Race are also great:

I'm on Vittoria Corsa G+ 2.0 paired with Vittoria latex tubes, I like the suppleness of that combination.

He's on hookless wheels so tubes aren't an option. Gotta stay tubeless with them.ND4SPD wrote: ↑Tue Mar 28, 2023 2:36 pmContinental Grand Prix 5000 have excellent puncture and rolling resistance and it's even better when paired with latex tubes:twoangstroms wrote: ↑Tue Mar 28, 2023 5:10 amBeen reading all the tire (tubeless) threads and I appreciate all y'alls deep research and...

Thanks, both! Yes, I have Conti 5000 with latex on my old bike (Dura-Ace hooked, not tubeless) wheels and it's been pretty good, but that won't work for hookless.
(Did have a teammate two years ago crash bad on a descent; he'd overinflated on his hookless wheels.)

I find corsa graphines feel great but flat to much.
gp5000 faired much better and still feel good.
Uk roads.
Basso Diamante eps 12

According to Bicycle Rolling Resistance, puncture resistance is better on Vittoria Corsa G+ 2.0 then on Continental Grand Prix 5000:

Ah ok I'm a member of BRR never actually read full review of Corsa G+ 2.0. I thought sidewall would be soft like Turbo Cottons which although I had no punctures had some marks on the sidewall nothing too deep but replaced tyre if there was numerous.

Those are the Corsa Control. I think this is the more accurate comparison?ND4SPD wrote: ↑Wed Mar 29, 2023 7:34 pmI have somehow overlooked that he wrote hookless wheels.CampagYOLO wrote: ↑Tue Mar 28, 2023 3:29 pmHe's on hookless wheels so tubes aren't an option. Gotta stay tubeless with them.

It's not my day, first I overlooked hookless, then this From this, they are the same, both 49 points on puncture resistance test.seventyseven wrote: ↑Wed Mar 29, 2023 11:12 pmThose are the Corsa Control. I think this is the more accurate comparison?
What is the measured width of the Power Cup and on which rim?
