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.

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
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

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.

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