I have been using the open corsa CX for several years. Able to find sales on them and always available. Seems over the last few months they have started disappearing and now they are hard to find are are full price. Is is tire being discontinued? I can find no information about them.

Yup the Corsa is the new tire. I tried them last year and thought they had much better wear characteristics, but they didn't quite have as nice a feel. I haven't seen anything on their aero properties and not nearly as much on Crr.

Well since that is the only tire I have ever ridden, what could your recommend Thomas Gerlach, you know a lot more about tires then I do.

If you wanted a blown rubber tires I would go a Conti GPTT.

I would caution riders about the turbo vs turbo cotton. Our road racing team got a bunch of free Turbo tires this year and used them as all around tires this year. The puncture resistance is horrendous, i have never had that many flats on roads i have been using for several years. Just make sure you get the turbo cotton's and not the turbo tire.

Definitely not suggesting the Turbo. Would never recommend that tire to anyone. The Vittoria Corsa G+ is 43.99 here if you are willing to take natural colored walls. If had to choose though a tire, I would pass on the Vittoria and Turbo Cotton and instead pick the Conti GP TT. Given I am not sure about the new SS, and the old ones can't be found, I think the TT is the most solid option.
