Pirelli bang, I have the cinturato velo and P zero race both tubeless and the outstanding thing is grip; speed I cant tell.

I don't know about consensus but I raced Pro 4 Endurance 28mm for one of the TCRs and finished without a flat. ~4000km with some gravel and other random shit. They had life left in them but I think I've killed them off now. GP 4000 were good. I think 5000s are too thin but I need to try them out to see. Unlike the GP4000s which came up 32mm, the Pro4 are actually 28mm so depending on your frame you might want to look at 32mm options too. I used a GP Urban 35mm on the rear during TIBR (came up 34mm) and that worked pretty well. Flatted once hitting a rock at speed but other than that pretty fine.

What's the consensus for a decently fast/comfortable but reliable 28mm tire? Michelin Power Endurance? P Zero velo? Should I go back to Corsa Controls? Dive in on the Vittora Pave 27s for £25 on Wiggle?
Currently running Veloflex Corsa 28s (tubed) - super comfy but had a couple of punctures (admittedly over big patches of broken glass each time) but get the feeling they might not be the most resilient of tires.
I'm planing on going on a 3/4 days long weekend trip in August and thinking I might fit some slightly hardier tires for that as I'm aiming to seek some miles on crappy tiny country lanes and would be happy to cruise on the odd gravelly towpath and would rather not be fixing many punctures. Corsa Control V1 and Micheling Pro4 Endurance did that trick extremely well in the past, though Corsa Control G2.0 seemed more fragile.
I'm running tubed but feel free to tell me I'm doing it wrong and should go tubeless. I might listen. Maybe.
