Thanks for your review. I have a pair of corso pro 28c running on 25mm interal width road wheels balloning out to just over 30mm. I like how they ride compared to revious tires conti TL 5000 28c they feel smother and more comfortable due to the high TPI. Only downside is the puncture protection. Had a puncture that sealed up, but had a tear because i failed to avoid a metal road debris, which I feel that a conti tl5000 wouldn't have a problem with. I patched the tear with a standard tube pat h since a small dynaplug wasn't sealing the tear. The patched up so far.
Glad you shared your thoughts. I also feel initially that the ride is very smooth. Haven’t had an issue with punctures but I don’t have a lot of time on them yet. Puncture protection and durability are always longer term concerns.
Some days ego i have installed Vittoria Rubino Pro iv 700*28, on 18.5mm rims, and tire width was 28,5mm inflat to 6 bar, and after 30km ride the tires width became 29.3mm on 5 bar of pressure. Very nice... But it to big for my bike😢
That is quite a bit larger on only 18.5mm rims. I would've expected those to end up closer to 28mm on that rim width. Sorry that's a bit too big for your bike.
That's good to know. Any time I try to inflate with a track pump, I have the valve core in. Perhaps removing it will make it easier to seat. At least worth a shot when I'm working through these videos.
Nice presentation of the pros and cons. Do you know if Vittoria allows the use of tire plugs on these tires ? It seems they didn’t on the previous version. I had to dig deep in there pdf to find that out, but it put me off as it is my go to if a tire punctures and the sealant won’t seal the hole. Thanks
Thanks! I’m honestly not sure about plugs on these. I can’t say that I even knew that some manufacturers say not to use them. Either way, I’ve gotten about 1000-1500 miles on these since this review and have only had one puncture and I didn’t even know I had it until I saw some sealant on my seat tube. I just put out a follow up to this with my long term thoughts if you want to check it out.
I tried to install a pair of Corsa Pro TLR's in 28mm on some Ultegra 8170 wheels. Serious failure with tubeless. The tyres were super easy to get on the rim (bad sign for tubeless). With such a loose tyre the tyres couldn't be seated or inflated at all with a pump or CO2 canister. These Corsa Pros in TLR version with those Ultegra wheels are a fail! Sad as I've never had issues with my Hunt wheels going tubeless with Schwalbe Pro One's or GP5000 S TR's. I wonder if the issue I had with the friend was related to this tyre or the rim..
Very good/helpful video ! How did they seal and hold air ? I’ve read that it takes awhile for them to be airtight ? How do you like the ride ? Do the beads stay seated when the tire is totally deflated ?
Unfortunately they’ve been leaking down a bit overnight. My hope is that more riding will keep them aired up longer. Ride is phenomenal so far, as expected from a cotton casing tire. And so far they’ve held the bead but I haven’t “fully” deflated them. Hope this helps!
Thanks ! I am going to try a set. Maybe I will get Vittorias own sealant and give that a try when I mount them. I have used Pirelli P Zero Race tlr tires for a couple of years and they are great, but a touch heavy as the tread is a bit thicker. I used to ride Vittorias , but didn’t like the way the previous Corsa mounted tubeless. Anxious to see if this new version is better as I know I love the ride . Thanks again, Dave
Good question! No, these tires are not direction. That's in contrast to the Vittoria Corsa Pro Control tires which will be featured on the channel soon and ARE directional. Subscribe if you haven't already to be notified when that video comes out.
One, I have a rim brake bike and 28’s would probably top out clearance. Two, my wheels are 27.5mm external so the 105% aero “rule” puts 25’s as most aerodynamic. However, with a disc brake bike I’d probably go 28-32 depending on clearance now.
@@JMCyclingVideos Softer sidewalls, deforms better, lighter and more comfortable to ride. Plus easier to mount and clean without mess with sealant. You can pump it up to 1 bar more and have the same comfort like tubeless. Latex tubes.
Good to know. I don't typically run latex tubes in anything because of the leak down. But, in my experience with butyl and TPU tubes, the clincher version of the tires isn't as supple or comfortable. And higher pressure isn't always faster as we've learned in recent years. Thanks for the feedback.
@@JMCyclingVideos I have tried few tubeless tires and they feel slugish even on the same pressure like clinchers and no good feel for the road. Tested few of them on same bike and wheels downhill without pedaling and tubeless is always slower
You can ride with a latex tube in these aswell. .I always ride with Latex in my clinchers. .now I got these bad boys,så thinking if I should go tubeless now

Thanks for your review I’m gonna run to my local bike shop and grab a set of these tire . Thank you 🙏
So far they’ve been great for me! I’ll follow up when I get some more miles on them.
Amazing job! Keep at it and you got this!
Thank you! Will do!

I just got a set of these and what I did was remove the valve core and it seated straight away. Yet with the valve core in I couldn't get to seat
Good tip! Note, any time I use my air compressor to seat tubeless tires, I remove the valve core...
@@JMCyclingVideos I'm just using a standard track pump

That's interesting that you had trouble seating them. These were definitely not the worst I've installed (see Challenge tires for that headache).
Very good/helpful video !

Did you do Unbound this year?
I did! Not the result I wanted, as I was having a major off day physically, but it is what it is. Debating on putting together a recap video.
Is there an arrow for the direction of rotation on these tyres ?
Good question! No, these tires are not direction. That's in contrast to the Vittoria Corsa Pro Control tires which will be featured on the channel soon and ARE directional. Subscribe if you haven't already to be notified when that video comes out.
why not 28s?
One, I have a rim brake bike and 28’s would probably top out clearance. Two, my wheels are 27.5mm external so the 105% aero “rule” puts 25’s as most aerodynamic. However, with a disc brake bike I’d probably go 28-32 depending on clearance now.
@@JMCyclingVideos u rock. Ty sir for explaining
tubeless on rim brakes?
Absolutely! Tubeless tires aren't a disc brake only feature. There are a LOT of tubeless compatible rim brake wheels, like mine.
6:08 - this is not the way how to pump tubeless types using the regular floor pump... No strange, that is was "no luck" for you.
Please let me know what I was doing wrong. I'm always happy to learn a better way.
Whats the inner width on your wheels?
19mm.
@@JMCyclingVideos lol yup. I missed that part. Cheers.
Non tubeless version is so much better
Care to elaborate on why?
