Vittoria clinchers - Open Pave CG vs Open Corsa CX

That's good to hear as I've just ordered a pair as my Conti's are getting past their best.

That is great to hear! I've used Conti 4 Seasons, and Pro 4 Endurance, both in 23mm, and had cuts / nicks in both, but borrowed a pair of Pave's to try and used them for the first time this morning, and was very impressed with how supple and comfortable they were (which I assume is a result of both the compound and being 25mm).

So given your feedback too - I think it is trigger pulling time!

I use the Paves in a 27mm, 80/85psi front/back, 10st6, and love them. Done about 300miles on them and they've been faultless.

Had a few bum twitching moments heading into corners a bit quick on greasy roads, but they've held firm. I've had zero punctures around Nottinghamshire's roads and the tyres themselves have no cuts despite being using on some unpaved tracks.

The green stripe also looks awesome, but that's rather subjective I suppose.

I rode my paves in the alps last week, five days in torrential rain and single digit temps and they performed faultlessly in fact i had as much grip and subsequent confidence as any day in the dry.

I did however change a worn rear after the first day, once these tyres wear i.e. completely slick tread they can become slippery, not an ideal combination for rain and mountains.
