I never bothered converting to tubeless as even riding a lot of distance on terrible roads I just don't puncture that often. I was always a Conti fan going from 4000s to 4000s II and then recently to 5000. However, when I switched to my winter bike last year (using the wheels off my commuter) I couldn't believe how much comfier the Vittoria tyres were (I had wrongly assumed it was the difference between wheels). I've now switched to Vittoria Corsa for the summer bike and IMO they are vastly more comfortable with absolutely no loss of speed at all. In fact, after a 70 or 80 mile club run I'm noticeably less fatigued from all the jarring around I used to get from the 5000s. I'm running 28s BTW. The Corsa comes in a tan wall option too.
