What Corsa variant would you recommend as a do-it-all tire like GPs 5000TL?
GP5000 is fast, but the sidewall damage is irritating and I don`t want to replace my rear tire each 2k km.

The plain Corsa and Corsa Control are very close. I would probably just get the Corsa Controls for the extra tread width.

As this is weightweenies so lighter normal Corsa (not exactly light but Control even heavier) + 25C - it is very wide tyre so it will baloon like some 28C..

Any hint of new Corsa in 2022? I wish the Corsa Control clincher to become lighter by at least 20g while retaining the excellent wet/cornering ability.

Sure, I wish every tire was the fastest and also the most puncture-resistant as well :roll:

What would making them lighter by 20g even accomplish? They are already the normal Corsa with a slightly wider tread, that's the only difference.

Calm down, it's just a wish. I'm not the mfg so why should I have the know-how?

Put it the other way, if they can't improve the weight by that much, better keep the product as is. Also my wish ;)

Waiting to wear out my current set then will be putting either the 30s or 32s on for the winter. Everything I've seen makes me very very hopeful for these tires.

Yep, they do sound promising.
Hopefully, they won't be much slower than regular corsa's... they're currently leading the voting on BBR so it shouldn't be too much longer before we have an idea.

Well, there's a long line of tires that won the vote but review is still coming soon.
So, BRR review in October would be my guess.

I've ordered a pair of Corsa NEXT TLR from bike components as backup. I will mount them after GP5000 S TR (f) or Pzero Race TLR (r) wears out.

Also keen to see how the N.EXT's perform as they sound like a viable winter tyre.

Does anyone have experience running the cords speed as a front tire on their non TT bike? If so how many miles does it last?

I ran the Speeds for a couple of summers on my road bikes. Rears would wear quickly (~1000 mi) and puncture frequently, but the fronts would almost never puncture and last around 3 times as long.

I'm also getting a pair of N.EXT in 26mm clincher in tomorrow. Going to pair these to a set of Bora WTO's on my Look. Now running a pair of Rubino Pro Speed in 25mm btw.
