They are so supple that when I first put them on I keep looking at the rear tire for the first few rides because it almost feels as if I have a flat. The Vittoria has a bit more grip than the Veloflex and is close in the feel of suppleness, but not entirely there. Certainly light years ahead of the Continental though, which I am not getting anymore after I run through the ones I have here. Vittorias are also cheaper than the Veloflex and seem to be a bit more available too in most places. Their main downside is that they DO NOT have removable valve cores, which you must have if you like to pre-load them with Stan's No Tube liquid latex.

I will try their Pave 24 mm too.
Mine do.
