Bought these a few weeks ago, as a supposed upgrade from my old Corsa G2.0's that lasted around 10,000km with only a handful of punctures, if that. The Corsa Pro's are a completely different story... In the three rides that I've had them on – a total of just over 200km – I have had 4 punctures that have required plugs and several other little nicks that have eventually sealed on their own with the (Silca) sealant. The killer blow was a puncture in the very thin sidewall that resulted in a car ride home after several plugs and even a patch to the inside failed to fix. Maybe it's just bad luck on my side, but I've had almost as many punctures with these in 3 weeks than I have on the same setup with the old tyres in nearly 2 years. When they weren't flat, however, they felt great - grippy, comfortable and fast, but it's really painful to be binning a £90 tyre after 7hrs of riding, and completely unjustifiable for the cost so won't be hurrying out to buy these again.

Not ridden many a mile on them yet 400miles or so and ill give the the old cliché comment, I stacked up some PR's on them, think It mostly has to do with how compliant they are. I've run the tubed and tubeless and on my Reserve 40/44's they pop on easily, not to easily mind, just enough to make tubeless a stress free affair. Can't comment on longevity but so far there are showing no signs of wear after 3-400miles on very rough Suffolk country lanes They are expensive though but at 70 quid they're just about palatable. Looking forward to the 29mm versions when they're released as they should be tailored more for my rim size. For those that want to know even on the reserves 25.5mm internal rims the vittorias don't fatten up all that much, just over 30mm @ 70psi. by comparison Gp 5000 str and Goodyear eagle supersport R's come up to around 32.5mm once all said and done so beware with this rim combo and "28s"
