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.
