Veloflex Pave or Gommitalia Targa K ?

Hello,

I'd like to buy new tyres in order to replace my Conti SuperSonic. I hesitate between two models
(Veloflex Pave and Gommitalia Targa K).

Could you give me some advice about these tyres please ?

Thank you, Marc

Veloflex Pave - fastest tyres I have used. Gommitalia I haven't used but I seem to recall that they
are very similar to Veloflex (both probably ex Vittoria people).

i keep reading veloflex consists of ex-vittoria people. anybody know the history if this is true?
was there a falling out? did some simply leave? did vittoria change direction against other's
wishes? if so, which companies were created?

???

thanks

I heard that the workforce did not want to move to Thailand.

VeloFlex Pave's and Gommitalia Targa K's are made in the same plant and are largely the same tire.
