My n=1 is that these are much more fragile than SS. So much so I'm going back. I'd donate that W or 2 for reliability and durability. Never thought I would say that about the SS!There has definitely be the talk about that. For me I have 3x 70.3, 2 sprints, and now an Ironman without issue *** knock on wood ****
Keep knocking on wood. After zero flats in 5 years, I have had two flats (separate tires) on Corsa Speeds in about 130-140 miles. At least the last one sealed somewhere around 50-60 psi, down from 93. Hit it with a co2 after letting it sit at the bottom with sealant (Orange Seal), but still spewed back down to 70 or so.
The first puncture I probably deserved on any race tire, but the second was literally a pebble that went through the center of the tread. Maybe a quarter mile onto a road chip-sealed last month and psssst...sealant stripe.

Anyone know where to order them? Doesn't look available on the Vittoria website.

Tubular guy here..I run 23 VCS on HED Stingers with a 28mm brake track...switching over next year to clinchersI am running the same setup HED S7/disc with 23mm VCS for race day and I recently picked up a pair of the HED Jet 6+ for racing and training. I put on a pair of 25mm Schwalbe ProOne tubeless tires and have a few training rides on them and they ride incredibly well. The 25mm tire on the Jet 6+ is huge compared to the 23mm VCS on the Stingers. The 25mm brake track on the Jets is a little easier to make work with the brakes though.
I was going to use the Vittoria tubeless but after reading about how fragile they are and difficult to mount I went with the Schwalbe. I have already been through 2 pair of the tubeless Schwalbe Ironman tires on my road bike and have been very pleased with the ride and performance. They are no more difficult to mount than any other clincher tire I have dealt with.

Yeah you can only take them as you find them. I was very lucky to survive my first and only 70.3 on them with a 5mm gaping cut and bulge with visible latex tube beneath. In two minds whether to stick a patch or the inner of the tyre to stop tube herniation and fill with black witch or just bin. I had one pair of supersonic last me 20tts two 140s and a 70
I think what amazes me about this whole discussion is if you think back to 2012-2013 when I was starting to RANT on the SS everyone was super skeptical about the tire. Anyone today that hasn't followed the discussion won't touch it with a 10-foot pole, but by large, if people tried them they had quite a positive experience just like you. It just reminds me that it is the magic of Conti's casing and NOT the puncture strip.

I was scared when I held one but that scepticism soon left. If only they were still available rather than the crap pseudo TT they are pushing as SS now
