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...

GP5000 way more superior puncture protection than Corsa IMO.
Turbo Cotton is absolute king in terms of ride feel and speed, but puncture performace is very much squeaky bum time.
I've ridden all three tyres on roads in Isle of Wight on pretty much same road bike and for blend of puncture peformance and ride feel GP5000 wins. However I have seen some strange sidewall failures in this forum also...
