What tires roll better Corsa EVO CX vs. Vittoria Corsa CR?

2

I don’t know what the Corsa CR is

Also, do you mean clincher or tubular? The “tests” have the EVO Corsa CX as Vittorias best tire with the lowerst Crr (0.00261)/watts per wheel (12.8) (with latex tubes).

Only a few tires tested better in this particular test I’m seeing (Veloflex Records (best), Torelli Torino and a Michelin ProRace2/others were slower) out of about 50 tires.

Thanks for the input… I was talking about tubulars.

While I have your attention, anyone want to comment on the best glue type to buy for tubulars?

Thanks in advance.

Track glue.

Track glue tests best since it is super hard - but good luck changing your tire if you flat! Best for TT/track applications where a flat is rare and you are done with the race then anyway.

I’d just go with the Vittoria Mastik 1 and age it properly to reduce losses due to elastic hysteresis

Also, those numbers I “quoted” above were for the Vittoria Clincher - The best Corsa CX tubular had a Crr of 0.00296 and 14.6 watts/wheel with 5 month old glue. The Crono CR (what you are asking) test better at 0.00275/13.5 as one would expect since it is a narrower (20 vs 22) tire

I use Vittoria Mastik 1, good stuff.

Has anyone seen data about the Vittoria Crono compared to the Corsa? The Vittoria website has them made similarly. Just curious.
