Death of a continental

I've been put off the Vittoria's as my last two new bikes came with Vittoria Diamante Pro-lites, and whilst they gripped well, and gave good feel they had the p_nctr resistance of a soap bubble.
I presume the Corsa CX has some form of p_nctr resistant layer?

I don't use tyres with "Light" in the name..

Fastest tyres = generally least p_nct_re resistance. Deal with it and hire a team car to follow you around or use a slightly heavier tyre. It's not like you're racing anyway.
