Vittoria

IF you are familiar with tires, then you should know Vittoria. Even though they aren't made in Italy any more, these tires still deliver a great ride! Supple like their tubulars but the benefits of clinchers. Nice tires!

I use it for long distance riding. I get lots of miles from these tires and they have a puncture resistant Kevlar bead. These are one of the best tires on the market today. In my 23 years of cycling, I have tried just about every brand of tire and Vittoria are the best.

Perfect training tire. Long lasting with minimal flats. My last set lasted over 2500 miles with only 2 flats....can't beat that, especially at this price.

I switched my Micheling Pro Race 2 tires that lasted a long long time for these Vittorias and I really like them. Light and superb rolling and easy to get on and off my easton EA90 SLX rims. Great road feel and a soft ride even with high pressure, so highly recommend these. Only con may be that they are a bit fragile and easily gets cuts. I have about 2000 miles on mine and they are ready to go and replacing with Conti 4000 just to check them out.

This is a great buy. FOr the past 5 years I've raced on these tires.

This is the best tire I have ever used for cycling. It is lightweight and very durable.

The description does not make clear what I discovered upon receiving my ORKSs--the "dual treads" are not side by side or something like that. This tire is reversible--one side slick, the other with a sort of herringbone pattern. Initial mounting is a little tough due to double tread thickness, and I wonder about how easy it's going to be to find and remove certain kinds of road debris (bits of wire, for example) when fixing flats on the road. Only ridden the slick side so far, which rolls and handles nicely, even in slightly wet conditions. I've only got a few hundred miles on them, so tread life is still an open question, but they seem to be holding up better than a lot of tires I've tried. I'm a big guy so rear tires tend to square off pretty quick, and so far so sign of that from the Vits. Probably helps that they run 140 psi.
