Fast, Durable and dependable.

There isn't a thing I dislike. I like the way it rolls (effortlessly). I lost count of the miles so it's dependable. And it's practically bullet proof (not one single flat).

Thank you for your feedback.

Flat prone....going back to Michelin

Was riding Michelin Krylion Carbon with great success until they were discontinued...switched to these. I've had more flats in the last 4 months than I had in the last 4 years. Swithing to Michelin's replacement for the Krylion...Michelin Pro4 Endurance. The TPI count is higher for this Vittoria, but the slightly better ride is not worth the number of flats.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great tire for all road surfaces. Super value.

I ride on rough chip seal surfaces which tends to wear out tires fast. These are holding up well so far. Great side wall tread for cornering and smooth center for low rolling resistance makes this a great all around tire. Comes in colors for those who have to look good. Not the lightest road tire but a great value.

Thank you for your feedback.

The Stones sang Satisfaction and with Vittoria Rubino Pros so do I

I live in northern Vermont and classify myself as a strong recreational rider - most rides are in the 25 to 40 mile range. To date I have 1080 miles on the Rubinos. They handle and corner well and glide smoothly over some of Vermont's smoothest, potholed filled, and hard dirt roads. No flats to date and no wear of note on sidewalls. I do not ride in the rain, but when caught in rain I just ride to survive. I will try the Rubinos again.

Thank you for your feedback.

I love these tires.

Bought a pair to replace my Continental Prix (a brand I've been buying for years) which I thought would be hard to beat BUT the Rubino Pro's ride smooth (noticeably!) fast, confident feel in tight fast corners and wear very well. I've put 800 miles on them and so far I can tell this will be the tire I will be buying again.

Thank you for your feedback.

Fantastic all round tire.

I bought these tires to go on the new rims that I bought. The combination of new rims and these tires really made my bike look pro. Seriously though I have found these tires to be a real plus on the roads where I ride. All kinds of surfaces in all kinds of conditions. This is a real all round tire.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great all around tire. Good value.

I bought this set of tires to replace my worn out kendas.

I need a tire good with water traction, gravel roads, and also a thick enough outer tread to support a friction based generator for my track bike.

These tires will deliver dependable traction rain or shine. I have not had any punctures yet. With a moderate rolling resistance they are a moderate training for those living in a small town but put in the miles every so often.

Thank you for your feedback.

A good tire for training on city roads.

I ride 250 miles a week on city roads. These tires hold up better than any I have used before. They are not easy to put on the first time but, with care can be done without damaging tube. And on wet pavement they give a good grip and are steady.

Thank you for your feedback.

Smooth rolling and puncture-free

I purchased these tires after years of using 23mm tires in an attempt to tame the pothole-filled, rough roads of south Seattle. After about 1000 miles, I can attest that they do provide a significantly smoother ride and I haven't had a single flat (although the roads have been mostly dry -- we'll see when things get soggy!). Overall, a good, solid tire.

Thank you for your feedback.

Really like these tires.

Just put on my third pair of these tires. I rode the first pair 2,518 miles and the second pair 2,515 miles with no problems. They really handle turns well. I hit 50 mph coming down the mountain at Mena, AR two weeks ago. I see no need to try other tires since I like the handling and am getting good mileage out of these.

I also like the white wall option. They look really good with my Zipp 101's.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great Tire

This is my second set of these. The first pair lasted several years with almost no flats. I replaced them with another brand. Big mistake. I started getting flats within 8 months, and then found a big break in the tire on the tread. I went back to these and I'm happy. My wife has had some for a couple years with not a single flat. We're happy with the way they ride. Good tires!

Thank you for your feedback.

Great tire.

I did not realize how bad my tires were until I received this tire. Of course road tires do not have big profile that mountain bike tires have but I still want to see some tread on the tire. I am not sure I agree with the projected amount of miles a tires will take to lose tread but I will start calculating now because my last tires should have lasted longer than they did. I like these tires and feel more confident that I will not slide like a baseball player sliding into second like I did on my last tires.

Thank you for your feedback.

Good tires at a good price

I chose the Vittoria Rubino Pro III because I had very good results with their tires in the past. So far they have worked great in summer conditions. My bike is red, and they certainly get looks. I considered the tires that cost twice as much, but was told that these are a much better value.

I enjoy riding these tires

I've got about 500 miles on these tires so far, and have had no problems with flats. I like the way they roll and feel good on the corners. Will probably buy them again if they continue to perform well.

Awesome Training Tire

These are an awesome training tire that is like butter on pavement they will last ages, and very good at puncture resistance. These have a high PSI upper limit for low rolling resistance, but they could be a bit more grippier.

This is my second set I have purchased, plus a fantastic range of colour options too.

Thank you for your feedback.

Best Pucture Resistant Tire Made

These are fairly lightweight and VERY durable. Very good traction in wet conditions. Purchased these to go on some Century Rides this summer. No flats. Roads sometimes were loaded with small debris and many riders had their bikes

turned upside down repairing flats. I noted that some riders had holes torn in their tires from small sharp rocks. Not me! Would recommend and purchase again when these wear out.

Thank you for your feedback.

Solid tire

I've used Michelins for more than 20 years, but had to switch after getting Fulcrum rims. Couldn't mount the Michelins. Switched to these tires and they're very good. Not quite the grip and feel of the Michelins but they wear very well, perform satisfactorily and mount easily
