Zipp Super 9 Disk, which tire?

I had a Zipp S9 tubular. Now I switched to clincher since my other wheels are Zipps 808 NSW (Canyon Speedmax is the bike) and I don't want to mess with the different tires

So my question is, which would be the fastest race tire (dimensions and type) for this wheel? My front race tire is Vittoria Corsa Speed 23mm on 808 NSW

Could be the good old Conti GP4000 S2 a solid solution?

Thanks

Why not put a Corsa Speed on back too? You could also go to a 25.
My latest book: "Out of the Melting Pot, Into the Fire" is on sale on Amazon and at other online and local booksellers

That would be easier since I have a few pairs but I always listen about how fragile they are (despite I didn’t have ANY problems with them in 5 70.3 and two 140.6 races)

Conti TT is a decent choice. I am riding one as the back tire on my road bike as a test and it has been holding up well. Maybe a bit more durable than the TLR and only a watt or two higher rolling resistance

Those are surprisingly wide when mounted. The 20 might be better for a front at least

I use a Vittoria Corsa Speed TLR 25c on my Zipp Super 9. Haven't had any issues.

Are you running it tubeless?

I wonder when/if Zipp will release an official tubeless-ready update for the disc.

No, with latex

And what about attack/force combo? It seams that it has lower rolling res than GP 4000
