Looking for a good quality tubular race tire.

[Beau210]

My conti sprinters haven't cost me any races yet.

In the end, tire selection matters about as much as jersey selection I'm willing to bet (flatting aside).

I dunno this year I went from racing gatorskins on my aksiums to the pro 3's and I could feel a huge difference.

For people who are using Vittoria Corsa Evo CX. Any comments on puncture resistance, or just longivity? I was thinking of going with them, but comments on roabikereview got me really concerned:

i would agree with this re competitions vs gp4000s clinchers with latex tubes.

observationally, advantage of the conti tubs over vittorias or many others is they seem to be more durable/puncture resistant, but a supple otherworldly tubular experience (this is over-rated imo but that's another topic) they are not.

It's too bad that Conti doesn't make latex-tubed versions of it's tubular tires. I bet a GP4000S tubular with latex inner would check all the boxes for a great number of tubular enthusiasts.
