I ride Cinturatos tubeless in a 26mm variety, and a 35mm variety, on different bikes. One on Hunt rims, the other on Hope. They're pretty straight forward to set up tubeless, but on the odd occasions I've needed to run with tubes they are a bit tighter to get onto the rim and will not always seat into the rim particularly well giving them a "lumpy" ride. Not a dealbreaker for me as I rarely need to stick a tube in, but probably wouldn't opt for that as default. Otherwise I find their grip and durability/puncture protection excellent, albeit they are not as svelte and lively as some of the more racey tyres.
As an alternative I have just started riding a set of Hutchinson Challengers (the older tubed model) in 30mm and they seem great for the c.200k I've ridden so far. £30 on Amazon at the moment which is pretty good for a modern tyre: https://amzn.eu/d/cxfxsaP
