Got the red ones to match my frame. They look great on the bike. Been riding them 8milesday on surface streets for a month or two and there's no visible wear.
Weekly training rides on generally good surfaces
roll well and feel stable, cosmetics are great also.
Riding round trips from Jersey City to Nyack and multiple 100 milers after my competitive cycling era.
Great for Training on Rough roads.
These tires are flashy/colorful. You will be lucky if they last a season. I bought a pair from LBS in April. Front one was frayed by late June. They replaced that one for 1/2. Back one lasted me til late July. I am an everyday cyclist & commuter which may be why they did not last, but the 60TPI (think thread count) is low. Also, once this tire goes, be prepared for flats. I once got 4 in a wk when they wore down.
The Rubino Pro III are $20 more per tire, but well worth it as they will last until next season.
After having a pair of ultralight Continentals fall apart way too soon due to side wall cuts and tread wear, I decided to finally buy beefier tires. My 23c Vittoria Rubinos are noticeably heavier and have greater rolling resistance than my ultra thin 20c Contis. But this is to be expected. I'm completely happy with the Rubinos and I enjoy looking at my bike with cool orange tires. I've only ridden maybe 200 miles on the Rubinos. They seem to be holding up very well. They give a smooth, supple ride. I'm very confident and secure with these tires.
The threads are showing at 4000mi.I'm on a long tour so the high pressure supports my gear without slowing me down much. it would be nice if they folded though.
Keep tire pressure up to aboput 135F, 140R. Carefully check tire surfaces before each ride. Keep my eyes on the road...never had a flat!
I am on my third set of these after trying Kendas and Continental ultra sports. Each set has lasted 3000-4000 with only a couple punctures. Both punctures would have went through almost any tire, so no complaints. I ride in rural areas on less than perfect pavement, and these tires roll fast, smooth and have decent grip, even in the rain. For the price, the rubino can't be beat.
Durable tire for training. I went with a 25 mm on the front only looking for comfort but did not find it. The tire performs fine and shows little wear after 500 miles. But alas I suspect that my issue is with 60tpi. Switched to a Kevlar bead 127tpi (same as my rear tire) and the ride was very different - as in it felt soft as 105psi, close to the feel of tubular. I am the sort that trades durability for performance.
Nice looking tire. It was time to replace the stock tires on my road bike. These seemed like a nice balance between puncture resistance and weight. I ride mostly paved bike path and they have been great. About 200 miles so far on them. I have to be the worst at changing bike tirestubes and I got them on with medium effort spread out over a few hours. Anyone competent, they should go on easy.
The tires came with my bike. Since then, I have put about 1700 miles on them. There are some cuts and nicks in the middle, but nothing has gone through yet. I have yet to get a flat. I run them at the max 145 PSI and they roll smooth. I have had some problems with wet traction, but generally they grip very confidently. Although they are heavy and hard to mount, they are really the perfect training tire
Tires felt smaller than brands I have had in the past, so far so good, but hopefully being smaller it don't cause any incidents...
A good, cheap tire that rides well in the city. Good grip and a smooth ride, plus I like the colors. It's done well over the last 250 miles, and I expect it to keep it up.
Fixie.single speed use. Crank out 30 mllers sometimes. So far tires holding up nicely!
I use my road bike mostly for recreationtouring. I need the excercise and so I need the tires to hold air. So far these tires are performing as advertised and as long as they do I should be happy with them.
My second sit and no problems.
These are great tires for the price - My 18 year old son rides well over 100 miles per week and these tires hold up very well!
Just purchased my third set of these tires. If you are looking for a road tire with color at moderate price this is the tire for you. These tires handle very well, have good puncture resistance and look great on the bike.
