Best tubulars for wide wheel (Zipp disc) on outdoor velodrome?

Had a search and couldn't find the answer - what type of wider tubular do folks recommend for a wide disc like a Zipp Super 9, on an outdoors (concrete) track? I have tried the 22mm Vittoria Crono and just found them too narrow. Cheers !

By the way, you should simply ask the regulars at your track to see what they run. Most tracks have a strong culture and lots of cultural knowledge about what works and what does not simply by watching and noting what other people do. For example, regulars at the Superdrome will tell you to leave your nice tires at home and run Conti Sprinters...even for bit events.

What track are you riding?

A buddy of mine who runs those wheels uses either the widest Vittoria Evo Pistas (23mm?) or Vittoria road tires at up to 25mm. Whatever tires you like, just get them at least 23mm wide I guess.

I have a 22mm sonderklasse on my super9 right now. I think I had a steher on previously.
