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.
With over 5K miles on these 30's, I finally had a flat. The rear tire was wearing so I replaced it, original front tire still going strong.
I put these in 30c on my S-Works Tarmac. The comfort level is exceptional with only a minor dulling of the razor sharp handling. I still get after it but tend to put more stock in comfort and these really did the trick for me. Highly recommended
This tire pricewise is very competitive compared to other brands. The tire also last a long time but that depends on the miles.
I bought them for the color, I love them because of the ride! we'll, and the color. Seriously, I'm not sure they are the fastest tires I've ever owned, but they are very smooth & handle great!!
My Specailized Roubaix Expert came with specialized roubaix pro endurance Tires in a 2325 mm size (whatever that means). Switched those wheels to a bike I dont ride much and Just swapped out to the Rubino Pro in a 25mm and did a 35 mile ride. Rims are 14 mm internal width. Wow. I cant comment on durability yet, but these tires roll fast and the ride is noticeably smoother. Very pleased so far. When dismounted the original tires were very stiff. First time I think I have noticed how much tire quality can affect the ride.
This is my second set of these tires. The last ones lasted me approximately 2 seasons of riding. Then they epicly failed. But they are and were far better than the continentals I was running before. Buying new tires every couple of years is definitely worth it for the value, smooth rolling resistance and over all quality and longevity of these tires.
Switched away from continental for the first time in years. Much preferred. Rides really well and way easier to change flats
Good price great wear I have been getting at least 3500 miles (with rotating)
I have moved from 23 to 25& 28s wear bad run great at lower pressures
Very few flats
I used these all year long here in Oregon
I have used pretty much every brand of tires and this one is the best for price and durability.
The great reviews for these tires, on this site, helped convince me to purchase these here for my new road bike, but within a couple of rides I removed them because I had two flats. These just aren't up to the standards for use here in southern Arizona. They ride and roll fine but if you have thorns or other little sharp things to contend with, I'd look somewhere else.
I ride mostly with groups of 6-20 other riders and when you are having more flats than your riding buddies running Continentals, it's time for a change.
I've been riding Vittoria Rubino Pros for the last 5 years or so. IMO they are the best value for the money capable for racing, durable enough for regular training, and snazzy good looks to boot.
Have used Vittoria tires for over 8 years. The G2 compound is the the best riding tire Ive had!
I am a cycling coach for Team in Training and have ridden these tires for many years now. They hold up well, grip the road and look good throughout their life.
I used this in the Eroica and they performed perfectly. 129 miles with 50% gravel, many riders with multiple flats and these did great. They rolled very well on the paved parts too, cornered well. 30mm width. Great training or mixed surface race tire.
These are my go to tires. I always get the white walls to make the white in my Cervelo pop! Im always getting complements on how good they look with the bike. I usually get 2400mi out of these, theyre comfortable and I rarely get flats.
I ride on roads with cracks and a few pot holes. This tire, especially at 28mm, takes up a lot of the jarring and holds us without sustaining any damage.
Have used these for years now
Getting 4500 miles running 25's (rotating at about 2200)
So long lasting
Good handling in both wet and dry conditions
I never get flats when running these tires and they are grippy when conditions get bad. They perhaps aren't the supplest tires on earth, but they're the ones I want on my bike when I'm on really long rides.
Dependable & durable tires.
