I have ridden 2-3 sets of these in all weather conditions in New Mexico, where the worst of all thorns - the notorious goat heads - and pebbles, rocks, and glass line our roads. I get excellent mileage out of them, rarely flat, and man are they fast. They are easy to mount and remove (one Pedro's tire lever is sufficient). They are more comfortable than most other road racingtraining tires I have used. I used to ride Conti GP 4000S. The Vittoria are less costly and last a lot longer (2-3 times longer in my experience) on our really prickly and rough New Mexico roads. Still, these are not commuter tires as I have read in another review. If you want a commuter tire try the Specialized All-Weather Armadillo. Perhaps the Vittoria Rubino Pro Control would be a solid choice for commuting but I have never ridden it.
First time buying this Tire type and I must say I am very impressed! These tires are fast rolling yet provide grip in sketchy corners and even wet conditions. These are my new tires of choice
Smooth rolling and durable.
I don�t write many reviews but I was really impressed with these tires so I thought I�d drop a note. Very impressed with how well they roll. I put about 100 miles on them so far and I�m super happy with them. My first impression was wow, these are much nicer than my continentals.
These were replacement on my Trek Madone 4.5. I wanted a whitewall road bike tire and my original Bontragers were no longer available. These ride great and appear more durable. I have about 250 miles so far and I have no complaints. Also look great.
I've found the Rubinos to be straightforward to mount and get very few flats. On the downside they seem to wear faster than I'd expect, but the roads I ride on are very rough so perhaps that's just par for the course.
I bought the 30mm version to use for the Eroica ride in Tuscany. I fitted these to the vintage steel framed bike and they performed perfectly. I couldn't be any happier with them after conquering the long course, 100k gravel and 109k pavement. They rolled very well and cornered well on the pavement switchbacks, they tracked well in the gravel and hardback. If the gravel got deep and soft, I started to get a little loose but hey, these aren't MTB tires. No flats! I saw countless people changing tubes on the side of the road through the event. I'm sold on these as a durable, fast trainingracing tire if your roads are less than perfect. Go with the Corsas if you have perfect pavement and need every little bit of decreased rolling resistance, but these will take care of you in any tougher environment. BTW, these are a huge step up from the old Rubino Pros (2010 or so).
Loved these until after a few months (I ride 100 miles a week, put these on brand new), THE SIDEWALLS DEVELOPED SCARY CRACKS!!!!!! The colored sections have LOTS of little cracks, the black sidewalls have a complete circumferential crack both sides about 3/16" from the rims, both front and rear.
YOUR TIRES AREN'T SUPPOSED TO DO THIS!!!!!
Yes, Victoria Rubino pro is lightweight durable and clings to the ground when cornering fast.
Reliable, good ride. Attractive coloring.
Also love the color selection to give your bike that extra coolness
Great traction on wet roads!
Tires handle well but I've found them to lose tread sooner than other tires
Great tire, rolls well, easy to get on rims. In general my wheel rims are very tight trying to get the tire on, this tire went on with minimal effort. Time will tell about the durability but so far so good!
I am using these as a winter tire. I am amazed how smooth and responsive they are. Note - I'm using them with latex tubes.
I've been riding on Rubino Pro tires for about 10 years and have been very happy with them. They are smooth riding, dependable and easy to get off and on my rims. These are great quality tires.
I found these tires three years ago and fell in love. I don't buy anything else now. They hold the road, ware well and last for a lot of miles. I good investment.
Everyday riding. I can no longer race so my rides are now non-intensive training rides. These tires work perfectly for the type of riding I am now forced to do.
Not as supple as racing tires, but give nothing away. Will definitely re-order when the time comes.
I have purchased three pairs in a row of these for my wife's and my bike and am convinced that they provide the best combination of performance, durability, flat protection, and solid ride. We ride some pretty rough pavements in our area and the G2's handle the rough roads as well as they handle the smooth ones. For the price, they are the tire of choice for us.
I'm 72 and a road rider for fitness and average 3,500-4,500 miles a year. I don't race, but do a vigorous aerobic work out. These tires are durable and responsive ,especially for my needs.
Almost new tire cut through twice by a small sharp stone and appears to be beyond repair. No glass, a stone. Never experienced this with Continentals.
Moving back to Contis.
