I had/have strada bianca 36c 300tpi, but set up with inner tubes.
+1 on the lack of puncture resistance, despite the pp2 strip system, I punctured twice on my first ride when new, then another 2/3 times in the 1500/2000km 50% offroad they lasted.
Sidewalls are also cotton I think, which makes them prone to tears on rocky offroad.
Other than that they are a dream, compound is lush, roll really well on road, behave properly offroad.

They're pretty fast wearing but combine with this and they've limited life unless you stay on the tarmac at all times. Nice tyres (once you get the bastards on) but I'd never buy another set.
