The way I'm reading your post, though, it seems as though you're implying that the opposite is true? If not, then the reason why I came to that conclusion was because less rolling resistance with the Vittoria + the benefits of a "faster" and more comfortable ride with the latex tube is why I imagined they would pair well with one another. Or at least that's why I thought others thought that.
TLR stands for tubeless ready. Casing and construction of tubeless tires are different from their tubed counterparts and generally there is a big rolling resistance penalty when running an inner tube inside one.
