Bought them after struggling with Gatorskin Hardshell which are good tires within their own right. These Vittoria are easier to install. Had them for about two months, roll nice, no flats!
I was running Vittoria Corsas for three years, but after a particularly nasty run of punctures, was ready to give up what is an exceptional ride for the joy of 'flatless' rides. What a surprise that after mounting my new Rubinos (admittedly, something of a struggle) and using Vittoria's tire pressure app, I found the ride quite similar to the Corsa. And while I lost approximately up to 12 seconds per mile, the loss of speed is well worth the very sizeable increase in reliability.
As always with brand-new tires, they were a bit challenging to get on the wheels. I went for the 28 mm width, and that was a winning decision. The ride is more plush and balanced and smooth. I'm doing some personal bests with these guys, so I'm a happy rider.
