This is why I ended up on the Rubino Pro's. There's nowhere for cr*p to accumulate in the tread. In the larger sizes of 30 and 32 the ride quality is indistinguishable from the Corsa's, and I believe they are grippier for no measurable loss in speed compared to the Corsa's.

But you gotta get the Rubino Pro with the plush sidewalls, not the Rubino Pro control which has the super stiff sidewalls.
to each their own, but I've had Rubino Pros (older ones, not anything recent) and they were fine, but rode nothing like the Corsas..
