If so, that's going to be my next tire purchase. Here's a link to the site:

Anyone here tried the Veloflex Servizio Corse tires?

I think you're right, the Veloflex is a modern make of the classic Servizio Corse. Not to be confused with the Yellow Jersey tire 3 for $50 of the same name!

PM Old Fat Guy, I think he's used those, or search for his posts.
