awesome tire,,,

Great tire. No flats, so far. I ride in junk on the side of the road just like everyone else. Glass, nails, sharpe rocks, and misc stuff. These tires roll smooth, handle corners with ease, If and when this pair ware out I will by more.

Thank you for your feedback.

owesome tire and the price just right for me

This would be my second set and that is only because the first set lasted 2200 miles and the one in front is probably got about another 1000, so i can use it in a few months when I need it. nice grip on the corners long lasting no flats what so ever

Thank you for your feedback.

Saved me from a crash

I got into a slide after turning at 20mph onto a street that had excess sprinkler runoff water on it. I don't know how I did it but stayed clipped in, leaned up, the tires grabbed and the bike righted itself and I went on. I've got some skills but I have to give credit to the tires which I just put on that week. I have no road rash and owe it to them.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great tire

I put these tires on my bike in February. I now have 2,200 miles on them. I've had one flat on the front tire, when they were two weeks old due to a small but very sharp piece of glass. No issues since then. I put these tires on a new set of Zipp 101 wheels. They are fast and corner really well. I hit 48 mph twice last week with no fear of tire failure.

I will be buying more pairs of these tires based on the experience I have had so far.

Thank you for your feedback.

Awesome smooth ride and cool colors to choose from.

Changed out my beloved and tough Gatorskins to these because I loved the color options - the lime green really makes my wheels pop. They handle well in all road conditions and have a light, quick responsive feel. The TPI is less than my Gators, but no problem traversing street garbage of all types and textures - only one flat so far, caused by a big chunk of glass that would have challenged any tire in similar qualityprice range. I hope they never wear out.

Thank you for your feedback.

Excellent puncture resistance. Great ride

I use the Rubino Pro as my everyday tire. Wears like iron. Great puncture resistance even when a little soft.

A quality tire with great ride and good durability.

This tire looks great on my bike, resists punctures and stands up to rough pavement and lack of pavement. It is easy to install and remove, so in rare instances when flats occur, it saves a good deal of time.

Thank you for your feedback.

Yes a GOOD tire

I used to love my conti's but too many blowouts, defects and fast wear. So, the Vitt Rubino Pro is my new experiment in tires and so far after 1000 miles I am quite pleased, wear is good, cornering good, and good solid feel descending 12,000 ft passes in Colorado. we will see how well in the next 1000.

Thank you for your feedback.

Good Training Tire at a very good price.

This has been a great training tire. I am 215 lbs. and have been surprised by the wear. I installed them one week before the Hotter-n-Hell last year and put 1800 miles on them before I swapped the front for the back tire. With a 145psi hard casing they roll fast and the traction is better than most wet or dry. Only challenge is a little patience is needed for removing and installation. This is a good basic tire, and even better because of the very affordable price.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great tire all around thus far!!!

Haven't had them long, replaced 25mm to 23mm. They handle well in wet and dry conditions and ride nice. I have only had them a couple of months, maybe 400 miles on them. One flat the other day, easy to change but, after a thorough bike cleaning the tires are in great shape with no slits or punctures. We shall see with more pedaling!!!

Thank you for your feedback.

Gives me confidence as I ride in potentially dangerous situations.

Installed on a road bike with 2000 miles on it. They are much superior to the original equipment. I put these on just before a century ride and was very happy with them.

love the tires, and the blue side wall matches with my USPS TREK

I was looking for new tires for my USPS signature TREK bike and when I saw the blue side wall on the Vittotia pro model that was it. The service is great 2 days and i had my new treads.

2500 miles, only 1 flat!

I have found these tires to be excellent. I am 150lbs and ride tires at 110-115psi. I have had only 1 flat in 2500 miles. I ride on the roads of Colorado, some gravel, glass and occasional dirt road conditions. It is my 3rd set. The traction seems good in wet or dry, they roll well and are durable. I continue to purchase this tire as my first choice.

Thank you for your feedback.

PriceWeightWear The best I've found

I am tough on tires. Not going to lose my 210-lbs, but don't want to use heavyweight tires either. Since discovering Rubino Pro III I have gotten nearly 3000 miles per set on each of my two road bikes and the single speed. I have not gotten this kind of miles since abandoning Armadillos. I get twice the mileage or more, than any Michelin I have used. Does it ride like the Pro 3 Mich? Not quite, but it rides well. The weight is very reasonable, feels fast and smooth. A very good value, which is why now I run them on all my bikes. Have switched to 25's on two of the bikes and they seem to ride even better than the 23's. Another amazing thing, for me anyway, I have not had to toss a tire because of failure (cuts or sidewall issue). Very good flat resistance.

Thank you for your feedback.
