Opinion: Vittoria Journalier Tech tires

Not specifically a commuting question but since the bike I need new tires for is my commuter, here goes.

I'm exploring different options for replacement tires that are in the 700cx35-38 range I'm curious if anyone has any knowledge or experience with the Vittoria Journalier Tech tires (the Tech versions of a couple of their tires have increased puncture protection).

Thanks,

Jules

I generally agree but for this bike, it would require new rims for confidence in a tubeless setup.

I haven't tried that tire in particular, but Vittoria is one of the brands I respect a lot.
