Very nice tires

Running these on a Hampsten with HED Belgium+ rims. The 700x30 size lets me drop down to 60psi front/70psi rear for very comfortable riding on bad pavement and occasional forays off the road itself. Grippy, roll smooth, not TOO terrible to get onto wide rims.

Thank you for your feedback.

Versatile and fast

Formerly competitive in MB and CX. These tires pair well with my custom AR bike on mixed surfaces--pavement, hardpack trail and light gravel, often in the course of a single ride.

Thank you for your feedback.

Smooth ride, great on poor pavement or gravel

These tires are very supple and pretty tough. We have miles of paved roads in Wisconsin that are in poor condition. I wanted a tire to handle these roads as well as gravel and fire roads. I am not running these tubeless and have had zero flats in 600 miles. These tires measure out right at their stated width and are mounted on a Trek Domane SL5. I weigh 200 lbs and am able to run 55-60psi without issue. Great tire!

Thank you for your feedback.

Supple and durable

I use these tires with latex tubes and I cannot imagine a more comfortable ride. Highly durable and no major issues with them since their release. Highly recommend.

Good tires!

I'm using these in 30mm's on my Specialized Diverge. I really like them. They feel very light and I like the security of having wider tires on rough roads.

Thank you for your feedback.

Vittoria updates the classic Open Pave series

These tires replace Vittoria's Open Pave CG series, of which I was a huge fan in both the 25mm and 27mm iterations. The Open Pave's struck a great balance between race profile vs daily commuteoccasional-trail durability. In the four seasons I had ridden them, I routinely rode off 2500km on a pair, and only ever had one puncture (of which I am guilty for letting my rear get too bald).

The biggest change in these new Corsa Control's (besides the adoption of industry standard 28mm gauge), is the switch to a linear tread profile in the middle section of the tire, whereas the Open Pave's adopted a nubby texture. I can see the linear tread improving the tire's ability to weep away rain, whilst on either side of the center there are two pairs of diagonal treads (sort of broken into arrows) that provide grip in the corners.

I've only ridden these in the Minnesota summer so far on roads, but the 28 clinchers feel a touch more supple than the old Open Pave 27s. This is likely due to the recommended pressure being dialed down to 87 psi max (I used to ride the Open Pave 27s at 100psi). In a 25 profile, Vittoria say the Corsa Controls can handle higher pressures (up to 145 psi).

Mounting and fit are great on my DT Swiss PR 1400s. They clear my Dura-Ace 9100s fine, with about 3-4mm space on each side of the calipers. TIP the rotation direction is not printed on the tire where the main label is, but on another spot molded into the sidewall. Find this to mount the tires correctly.

Thank you for your feedback.

Marginal gain against the old Corsa. Head and Shoulders ahead of the rest.

The Vittoria Corsa G was the best tire by a wide margin in my opinion to any other cotton tire I have had the chance to ride. The Corsa 2.0 is a marginal upgrade to its predecessor. I have no data driven evidence of this marginal gain other than a personal road feel and confidence turning aggressively into a corner. I run 28mm at 75 to 80psi

Thank you for your feedback.

Perfect tires

I have had one set for 2 years and bought them again. These are great tires. Lightweight, good sticking to surface, fast, and durable. Best for overall biking on not always perfect pavement.

Supple casing and grippy rubber

Good on paved and dirt roads. Offers a decent balance between being light yet durable while providing a comfortable feeling ride.

Finally found my answer, after blowing out 4 tires in two years.

I'd been using tubeless for some years - great on the long country road rides, but getting to some rides through Portland often takes one through glass. Pinpoint punctures on tubeless are no problem, but a 1cm slash is devastating. And expensive. I decided to go back to using tubes and giving up the smooth ride on tubeless, but with the 30c Vittoria I could run lower pressure, get the ride smoothness, the cornering, and on-the-road reparability. The rubber is super grippy, reliable on rain or rotting leaves. The high thread count casing is quite apparent, providing a supple feel during high speed cornering.

Thank you for your feedback.

Keep in Control

I ordered a pair of these tires owing to the shortage of the Conti GP Tires in my chosen 700x30 size. Apart from a little difficulty in installing there is absolutely nothing I don't like. They roll and grip so much better. I've never used Vittoria tires before but now I'm truly a convert. These tires are great.

Thank you for your feedback.

My all-time favorite road tire

They grip the road very well, and at 75-80psi are fast and comfortable. And they sound like my sew-ups used to. Easy to mount on the rims. I've been an active road cyclist for over 60 years.

Thank you for your feedback.

5 Spring Classics (0 punctures!) - Vittoria Corsa Control G2.0

Thorough research for riding on the cobbles, converged on these tyres (previously rode open Pave CG).

Very, very happy with their performance and looks, would definitely buy again!

0 punctures - one Hell of a journey!

Great feel. Not the most puncture resistant

The tread is grippy, but small bits are caught and held by the tread. Many of those small bits work themselves out, a few seem to get through and cause flats though.
