Pirelli Velo has impressed me with there performance & puncture resistance.
Very wet conditions, 15+ head winds, temps 60+ & I was able to easily stay the mostly straight course peaking 36+ MPH at times without any doubt. Ran thru some unavoidable debris on other occasions & hardly any was impregnated into the rubber.
In the past, I used schwalbe & Vittoria, the Vittoria's were close to the Pirelli, but if the ground was cold, the MPH would dive a little, any turns & all bets were off. schwalbe was great for taking harder higher speed impacts during its early installed life & seemed to provide a more stable feel within the turns in the wet areas. Average speed suffered though.
That was just my experience with select models within those brands.
The more "whizbang" the tire offers that is not positively directly effecting the compound, I tend to shy away from. Example: Would opt out of having reflective sidewalls if given a choice.
