Strengths: cornering grip, puncture resistance, feelWeaknesses: none... these are a performance tire so short life is expected; starting to square off the rear tire.Bottom Line: excellent tire. mine are the 25c width. I use these on my scattante sc-r scandium road bike with dt swiss R1900 wheels and think they are supple in feel, excellent grip, roll quite well and are comfortable. no flats in the past 750 miles. lots of little cuts all over as they are a soft compound. I also have tubular wheels and a disc on my TT bike which i ride at 140/145 psi and yes, that bike rolls out insane, but the vittoria rubino pro slick clinchers are killer in all respects. I also have some conti gatorskins; the feel is terrible. although i do like conti tires. I am going to get some vittoria paves for the winter rides and commute as i think the slicks are best for fair weather; when it comes to the twisties anyway.

Strengths: I haven't noticed any handling problemsWeaknesses: Constant flats - I think I get one every time I ride. I am scared to ride over anything but the smoothest tarmac, since anything and everything seems to cut right through the tire and into the tubeBottom Line: They feel nice, but the number of flats has been very discouraging. I can't rate them as a value because they don't really function to keep me on the road.

Strengths: Smooth, Stable Ride
Good Grip
Good ValueWeaknesses: Terrible Grip in Wet ConditionsBottom Line: I have one of these as my rear tire in conjunction with a GP4000 as my front tire. The Vittoria Rubino Pro Slick has great stability and holds the road extremely well when it's dry out, but everything goes out the window when the roads are wet. I would recommend these tires to anyone who needs good, reliable grip from a moderately priced tire. I would suggest these only for fair weather riders, though.

Strengths: They do the job and they are a great bang for the buckWeaknesses: Wet cornering.Bottom Line: Everyone gets a bad tire now and then, even expensive tires. However, I have used these exclusively for the past few years and found them to be a real value tire. I was getting them from PBK for mid $20's (thats gone). I have probably purchased 10 tires and I think that I had one that ended up with a cut sidewall which could have been due to the gravel. Other than that I have gotten good mileage of 2000 or so miles. I ride on rough rodes and therefore get small cuts that I hit with some superglue, which will take care of the small ones. But that happens to any tire, regardless of price. The only problem with these are on wet roads. YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL but that is true with any tire. I weigh 175 and generally get 2000 plus miles per tire. And except for one have only disposed of tires that had threads showing thru the tread.

Strengths: none really IMHO
They do not out perform any tire and do not have any superiorityWeaknesses: wear quickly in comparison
sticky on road which picks up lots of junkBottom Line: Lucky for me i paid less for these tires since they were take offs at the LBS, because if I had paid full price I woulda been pissed. New, these roll out ok, grip ok and are nothing special but not a failing tire either. But now, after only 6 months, they have treads and cords popping through and I have not skidded on them. The compound is softer than a teenage girls ego and it sucks road grime more than her cheap friend at prom. Sure, I got them cheap, but do the same, do not pay >$20 for these suckers.
