VittoriaRandonneur Classic 700c Tire(Return to Product Page)

I commute about 75 miles a week and have been using the 28mm version for the past two years had to replace the rear once because I kept it at 90 psi and the side wall started separating. I would not recommend going over 85 psi. Never had a flat though.

I bought these 700X35 to replace the Bontrager OEM tires on my TREK 7500. I ride mostly paved bike trails and bike lanes. I'm a big load 6'-1" and 220 's so my tires have to work pretty hard, and our trails and lanes are full of dust and small bits of gravel. I did about 50 miles on them my first weekend and so far I'm happy and impressed. First off 70psi they feel smoother and faster than the OEM's did 90psi I didn't expect that. And second they feel nice and responsive. I ride 70-100 miles a week so it will be interesting to see what kind of mileage I get from them, and how they handle our very rare wet periods. As others here suggest I will increase the psi a bit to see if there's a little more speed in them.

Great commuting tires, the reflective sidewall adds some great side visibility. I bought the 700x35 reflective for comfortable commuting, they are ridiculously plush at 75-80 psi.

These are some heavy piggies though, almost as heavy as my mountain bike tires, push the psi higher as the other reviewer noted for a bit more speed and confidence in corners.

Rode the 700x32 tires for 4,600 commuting miles without a puncture. Once the back tire started getting flats once a day, I knew it was toast. Front is still going strong after 6,500 miles.

These tires are great for cornering. Many a dark morning I corner hard, never knowing what new debris might be scattered on the road sand, gravel, glass, plastic, metal shards, etc.. Only one time did I get that quick, cold sweat on the forehead as I felt the bike move sideways at about 45 mph. The tires slipped a bit, but grabbed what little pavement was there, and both the bike and I made it through that turn!

These tires also handle a load. At the start of my commuting last year, I weighed 250 lbs. heaviest of my life!. Along with rear panniers carrying lunch and a change of clothes, these tires were put to the test. I have now lost over 40 lbs., but have increased the pannier loads with errand runs.

I would have given these tires 5 stars if they came with a higher recommended tire pressure. For the first few months, I rode at the recommended 75 psi. A LBS wrench told me he pushed 90 psi without trouble. At 75 psi, the tires are a bit slow. At 90 psi, I get another couple MPH, and more corner response.

The Vittoria Randonneur is a classic, long-lasting and very flat resistant tire. Great grip on wet surfaces, and lightweight for how burly it is. Plus, it comes in white!

They call it the Randonneur for good reason - just like randonneur riding, this tire goes and goes... High mileage.

I've been riding this Vittoria Randonneur tires for the last 2 years. I have very little reason to change away from this tire set. As a daily commuter, I have only had 1 flat. They are durable enough with a replacement every 6-8 months. These are by far the best bang for your buck tires.

Got the 28's and they're closer to 25's when inflated. Ride well, never gotten a flat, low pressure makes them cushy if a little sluggish.

I rode a pair of these for one season and the wire casing on the INSIDE of the tire came unwound causing tiny pinhole size flats. it was annoying. they roll fine and mount easy enough but the build quality is crappy. I went back to gatorskins...

I just cannot seem to wear this tire down. It has been word down to the red inner layer for a year now and I am just testing how far I can push it, and seems to just keep on rolling. Very comfortable, good grip, puncture resistant and much more comfortable than some of the harsher tires like the Maraton or Armadillos. This is great for commuting or fall-spring riding. Not a race tire for sure, but great for other purposes.

I love riding these tires - great supple ride, great traction in most conditions, great flat resistance but you will always fear the day you find yourself trying to change a tube by the side of the road. I ride these on my touring/commuting/cyclocross bike. Due to the many functions of this bike, I change tires frequently for the different roles, and putting these tires on is always a struggle. Never before have I ripped a tube trying to get a tire on but I have with these. After racking up just enough wear to justify replacement, I am finally giving up on these and moving on to something else. If these fit as well as the other tires I put on this bike (Kenda Happy Medium and Maxxis Mud Wrestler) I would keep riding these and then, when fully worn out, replace them with the same.

I really enjoyed how the tire grips the wet pavement in the city and on the road. Comfortable ride and reflective stripe can be seen from quite a distance. Have not experienced a flat yet tire. Seems quite durable.

Bought this bc it was on sale & fit my wheel set. Overall, good tire.

I have put 760 miles on these over the past month, mostly commuting with a few group rides. Surfaces vary from pothole ridden surface streets to bike paths. Absolutely no flats thus far. My old Specialized tires were getting flats more frequently after 3,000 miles, especially on the badly balding rear tire. These have held up well and the 28mm width provides good traction in dry to moderately damp conditions. They do get a little sketchy in wet conditions, but I run them at the full 80 psi so that's to be expected on oily city streets. My old 32mm commuter tires seemd to provide slightly better traction when conditions were really wet. I tend to wear out rear tires faster than front due to my panniers, but this one seems to be holding up well. Hopefully it'll last upwards of 3,000 miles.

Very durable no flat tire. Not difficult to install if untake your time. Trick is to keep squeezing the tire all around and it will eventually pop in without using tire levers.

They're round, easy to mount, quiet, stable transitioning between pavement, dirt, loose gravel, and other road debris. Faster than I expected. I'll buy them again. I have 35mm and run 55psi.

My commute is 36 miles round trip, and includes gravel path, paved path, glass covered urban street hell, and lots of potholes. I use the same racing bike with Ultegra drivetrain and brakes for commuting and weekend rides. The 700X28C version, much to my surprise, does fit with 2008 Ultegra brakes. I can easily maintain 20-22 mph on the flats with these tires, and in 4 months of continuous commuting I have yet to experience a flat. These are winners

great value, reflective sidewall is great for commuter visibilty. Tire works well in all weather conditions, with over 3000 in commuter miles I only had two flats.
