Product Description

This ingenious design places the hard tread in the center where the wear occurs, and uses a softer compound on the shoulders for unparalleled grip when cornering.A composite casing, alternating Polycotton and Kevlar threads (3:1 ratio). The high TPI number, 290 threads per inch, gives an optimal comfort even with high inflating pressures, while the Kevlar threads enhance both cut and puncture resistance

Strengths:    Comfortable ride, good handling.

Weaknesses:    Lose air faster than most tubulars, tubes tend to rupture long before casing is worn - and long before I'm ready to shell out for a new tire.

Bottom Line:

This is the new 320 tpi tire. I like the grip and ride quality of the corsas, but was hoping for improved longevity. Unfortunately I have ridden these less than a season and one is already shot. I pumped up the tires prior to a group ride (120 psi) and was putting my helmet on when I heard the dreaded pop and hiss. Sure enough the front tire was flat. No major damage to the casing or other problem, the tube just failed. I may try some sealant, but haven't had much luck repairing Vittorias that way. I probably have less than a thousand miles on the tires since I mounted them. I have had this problem with previous Vittorias and can no longer justify buying them. I've had far better luck with Tufos and will probably go back to those.

Strengths:    Only the glue that held them on.

Weaknesses:    Highest dollar per mile you'll ever spend.

Unsafe. Would you take a high speed corner with an unpredictable tire?

Bottom Line:

What is the simplest way to sum up my feelings for these "top-of-the-line race tires"?

TOTAL POS.

2 Brand new tires mounted on a new set of Zipp 303's. This was my dream set up. 10 miles into my first ride and the rear tire blew. Not from a puncture but a blowout at the base of the valve stem, rendering the tire useless. Several days later while pumping air into the other tire (you heard right, I wasn't even riding!)it blew as well. EXACT same problem, a blowout at the base of the valve stem.

If you read the other reviews you will see that others have had similar problems, yet I talked to Vittoria's US Distributor in OK and they say they haven't heard of any issues of this nature. They're either deaf or simply don't care. I now have two tires hanging on my wall that will never see the road again.

Do yourself a favor and spend your money elsewhere DO NOT BUY THESE TIRES.

-5 to 6 flats, all in the rear tire
-rear wheel was totally worn in the center
-approximate 1/4" diameter chunk / gouge in the rear wheel occured after about 300 miles - caused latest flat so i had to ditch these
