Looking for some feedback on the S-Works Turbo T2/T5 clinchers, how do they feel compared to turbo cotton or other similar tires?

I use them.
They are like the 'older' Sworkts Turbo tires.
I like them, they are grippy and durable and puncture resistant.
they feel pretty fast too.
it's kind of difficult to compare them to te Turbo Cottons. The TC are more supple to ride, but they are too prone to punctures for me.
I use the normal Turbo's for races now after a couple of flats with my TC.

I think the OP means the non-tubeless version of the Turbos.
I think they have not been tested by BRR... yet

Interested in that, too. BRR has 45 votes registered for the clinchers in 26-622. Maybe they get tested soon if people continue to vote ;-)
