Hi,
I have 2 sets of tires to choose from. Vittoria Corsa Pro TLR 28 front/30 rear and Continental 5000 clincher 28/28 with TPU tubes.
Which one would you choose?
I prefer the look of Vittoria with tan walls but Conti with TPU are about 100g lighter and if I use tire insert it is 160g difference.
Rolling resistance is similar, I don´t have issues with Conti comfort. I am not used to tubeless on road, it is too much hassle, but it´s not a deciding factor for me.
I guess you must feel those extra 100/160g, it´s like the difference between using 40mm climbing wheels and 60mm aero wheels... my wheels are DT Swiss ARC 50, so not particularly light wheels.
Thanks!
