@crazyfields I would think they do last longer and offer better performance and yep they would be better if punctured from what I have read up. There are a few sets on ebay atm goin for cheap if you search 'tubular' and dig through the other stuff. Most decent tubulars come with removable valve so with some sealant can be used again if they puncture too

I'm not too happy with the idea of sealant in a damaged tubular tyre on the track. Last thing I think I'd want to see is a sealent plug go flying from a tyre inflated to 13 bar, its latex sputting onto the track like Bukkake .. Tyres can be repaired. If you don't want to repair them then chuck them but....

I wouldn't use sealed tubs or recommend to use them on track but if they do puncture the user has possibility to seal them for use elsewhere.If your going to bother to ride tubs on track (London) I would assume they were your track day specials and very unlikely to puncture.
