In the past I exclusively used a higher priced German tire. I got great miles and no flats. But despite claims of a great traction compound, I found them lacking on wet surfaces here in Florida. A friend suggested the Vittoria brand. I switched and so far I am very pleased. I have yet to ride in a downpour but wet surfaces alone performance is excellent. I'm so impressed that I switched my touring and mountain bikes to Vittoria. I don't have the miles yet to comment on durability but at half the price they're a deal.
I've been using Vittoria tires for a long time. This tire is not your typical Vittoria tire. The G compound works like they say it does, very grippy and wears well. Flat protection is great so far. I hit stuff that any other tire, well with the exception of the Conti Gators maybe, that would have flatted for sure. The rolling resistance seems high to me compared to the Vittoria Diamante lets say. Would be a good commuter tire for sure.
Easy to install - and remove on the road if necessary. This tire is a great value in its price range. Highly recommended for training and in all weather conditions.
Reminds me of a Pirelli
Great price, comfortable ride, durable, and long lasting I roll 28mm tires at 88 psi front and 90 rear, and little lighter in wet conditions
Riding between 7000 to 9000 miles a year. Need a reliable tire that can handle the roads of Southern New England.
