Yeah I didn't have great luck with punctures on the Corsa's. The narrow grooves ust pick up too much stuff.
Turbo Cotton's were great until they weren't. 2500km before my first puncture and then a blowout a few mins after when I hit a stone at relatively low speeds. Was actually surprised at how decent they were in that regard.
Trying to enjoy the 5000s more, especially seeing as they cost so much less than TCs. Like half as much if I order them from the UK. I just miss that supple life. Miss gumwalls too. Think it looked much better on my bike...
