VittoriaRubino Pro III Road Tire(Return to Product Page)

I just started using the rubino pro as my training tires. Great ride, got 1400 km out of them with no flat. I wont use them for my races, but great all around ride and superb for training. 4 star because not stellar in wet condition

Had a front tire blowout because the tire popped off my Mavic Aksium wheel at 140psi. They ride great but need to keep the pressure lower

Using tire for training

only complaint is ride is hard.

even when running tire pressure at the low end.

very resistant to cuts from road hazards

I prefer the ride of the Vittoria Open Corsa EVO CX but had to replace two tires in less then a month due to sidewall

cuts.

I switched to these tires from Michelins 10 years ago and never looked back. I get around 2500 mles on the rear and 4000 miles on the front even with the road conditions in less than perfect condition. I do believe keeping them inflated at 130 lbs. helps. The 150 TPI casing gives a good road feel and confident handling.

My commute is about 20 miles round trip. So far the tires have been working well.

I had been using the gatorskins, but decided to give these a try, I have put 2,500 miles on these tires. I have not had a flat or a cut tire. These tires hold up to the harsh conditions of our valley heat 100 and our winter conditions in the Sierra mountains. The tires handle well on a fast decent and I feel have better ride than the gatorskins. A good all around tire for the price.

Bought these a few months ago to train for the Rouge Roubaix in 25mm. I have about 2000 miles on them with over 100 miles of gravel and many other miles on really bad paved roads with no flats. Ridden them on a couple of fast group rides as well and they did not feel slow. I weigh about 165 so I'm not too light or too heavy and ran em 100-110 psi depending on the day. Really good all around tire that you can literally ride on any road surface.

An okay tire. The only reason I use it is because I can barely mount Michelins on my Fulcrum Racing 1 rims. These mount fairly easily, wear fairly well, but don't handle or grip the pavement the way Michelins do.

Love that this tire rolls fast and has a threaded surface to help with grip. Wearing is not an issue. This tire wears very well.

I have about 1800 miles on mine and they are wearing well. I expect about 2500 before I am done .... So far they are 10 months old... But with 3 Centuries coming up in MayJune I am about to catch the sale and buy another pair!

This is a great winter tire because of the micro tread pattern on the edge which provides great traction on slick corners, but they're not just a good winter tire. I've relied on these tires year round for solo training, fast club rides, and on many double centuries in weather conditions ranging from cold, 10 hour rainstorms, to 110F searing desert heat. Over the past 2 years of riding on these tires, I'm never the one in a group prone to flats. Of all of my bike parts and gear, the Vittoria Rubino Pro III tires seem to be the most reliable in that when I put a new set on, I usually won't have to remove them until about 3000 miles when they wear out.

Good dry weather traction tires in cornering and braking. I found out last week that ice is still a problem. Haven't yet found a good tire for both road racing and the occasional ice patch.

Great road tires. They have protection inside to help prevent flats, bald centers for less rolling resistance and treaded sides for good cornering. 600 miles so far, no flats (knock on wood) and they still look new.

I've never had a tire last as long as my VIttoria Rubinos. Great all-weather every day tire. After three seasons and 6000 flat free miles (yes, I know. Amazingly lucky), I swapped them out for a pair of Diamantis. A friend took the least worn of the two after she tore a sidewall and needed something in a pinch. So far she has gotten another 1000 miles on them without a flat.

These were mounted on a pair of Rolf Elan Aero rims that I use with my IF Crown Jewel. They regularly saw very rough dirtgravel roads (including forestry roads best made for cross tires) and never let me down. While there may be better tires for gravel, none provide the confidence that these do at 50MPH.

I believe this to be the very best tire for the money and i have owned almost every good tire made. I am a Clyde at 272lbs and 6'4. I get more mileage and slighly more speed out of my Conti Grand Prix 4 Season's but at a rather large price increase! I have also found that for commuting and training the Panaracer T-Serv to also be an Excellent choice although slightly slower than either mentioned above but not by far and much SMOOTHER riding than either of the other mentioned! I you get into slick rain and snotty conditions like moss on wet trails ect the T-Serv has the best traction of the three but tends to produce a little drag on the smoothes comparitively. So the Vitt is quite possibly the best all arounder in the BIZ! My wife is the opossite at 5'0 even and 105lbs and she loves the Vittoria Rubino Pro III also the best!

I needed training tires to fit on my Campagnolo Neutron Ultras and these rims are picky about fit with my usual, Continental AttackForce being impossible to stretch to fit.....I tried Michelin Pro tires which fit perfectly and were very grippy but flat WAY too easily...2-flats inside of 500-miles!...and shards of glass imbedded all over..the rubber is much too soft. A waste of money. I tried these Vittoria tires because I heard they fit easily on Campy rims....And it was the best move I ever made. Grippy and VERY durable to say the least. Over a thousand Miles and still counting with zero cutsflats over the same roads that doomed the Michelins. These tires have a nice raised herringbone tread that deflects debri nicely while not sacrificing too much in the weight department.

Very highly recommended!!!!!

It's a graet tire...

I bought these tires to mount on a new set of training commuting wheels. A friend had recommended them, the price was right, and it was the rainy season, so I decided to try them out instead of mounting up a set of my usual (Gatorskins). These are great tires. While they don't quite feel as fast, I feel like they handle better in wet weather than the Gatorskins, especially when cornering, I've done several fast, technical descents on damp roads with these tires, and they handle confidently. They are also quite durable. I have about 1400 miles on the current set, and commute on roads where there is often broken glass or small, sharp rocks. I have dug out countless small bits of debris but never once had a flat with these tires. They are also pretty easy to mount, which matches my experience with other Vittoria clinchers. At 6'4 and 185lbs, I ride them at 120wet-125dry psi, which seems to be my sweet spot for comfort, speed, and debris pinch-flat resistance.

Unfortunately, a rock took a small chunk of tread with it on a recent ride, exposing the casing (still no flat!), and seeing as the summer weather has arrived I've ordered a set of Gatorskins. But you can bet I'm going to fill the hole with some Shoo Goo and try to wring another 1000 miles out of this set. These are now my go-to tire for damp wet conditions.

For the price you really can't get much of a better training tire. Sure, probably not the lightest or cheapest tire around, but the durability is INCREDIBLE. I have these front and back on my fixed gear in red and I take them through potholes, broken glass and terrible awful things other tires would fail at the sight of. The Rubinos kept on troopin' through all of it, with a smooth, trustable ride quality. Haven't gotten a flat in a whole month straight of riding where I'd used to get at least a flat a week with other, cheaper tires. If you're looking for a good starter training tire look no further. Rubino Pros are worth every penny. Plus they come in cool colors too, which is a definite plus!

I've used these in a variety of road conditions ranging from wet highways to sandy shoulders to hard-packed dirt roads. They prevent punctures well, have good traction in cornering, and have a wide pressure range I can adjust for road and weight conditions. My last set lasted about 3,000 miles and would have gone longer had I paid more attention to road debris. I like having the same tire available in a 25c so I can take packed dirt roads when I get bored with the same old road routes.
