This is my personal opinion, nothing more. I have ridden both Corsa G+ and Rubino G+ Speed.
I don't like the Corsa G+. They are expensive and pick up every little piece of glass and debris. I also don't notice better ride quality and they don't inspire any more confidence. If anything I found them more nervous/twitchy than the Rubino G+ Speed.
The G+ Speed are 198 grams. The Corsa G+ are 256 grams. Both actual weights on my scale. The Rubino G+ Speed wear very fast. The rear tire is toast after 1200 to 1500 miles.
The Vittoria website said (past tense) that the Rubino G+ Speed had less grip and were less supple than the Corsa G+. My experience with the Rubino G+ Speed is that they are very forgiving to the point where I can push them harder than I'm willing to push the Corsa. I use the past tense because Vittoria has tweaked the product lineup and changed the names recently. Things might have changed.
Back on topic, I'd like to try the Pro 4 Service Course. 3x110 TPI and 200 grams might make this a really nice tire. In the past I've not liked Michelin and found then twitchy and nervous but I'd be willing to give them a try again if the price were right. Where are you guys buying these?
