VredesteinFortezza TriComp(Return to Product Page)

These tires felt nice in the early miles but halfway through their expected life span the red color sidewalls started cracking and separating from the black of the tires all the way around horribly. I can't ride these anymore for fear of having a complete blowout on one or both while being 50 miles from home and breeding to hitch a ride home. Terrible purchase.

Now have Vredestein tires on 3 bicycles. Pleased with smoothness, durability, appearance, and...no flats yet!

Great tires. Good price at BTD and no flats. Reliable tire

Soft tire, Easy to mount, Good rolling resistance, Although there is a minimum tire inflation of 100psi on the sidewall of the tire? I am a 170 pd rider and using 700x25c tire! Pretty comfortable 100psi!!

Great tires for all conditions. These are my go tires fast durable and easy to install.

I like these tires. No flats with 500 miles on them. Smooth feel and corner nicely. Great value especially since I got them on sale. I will buy these again.

I use a chromoly road bike to commute 20 miles round trip a day and want reasonably durable tires that don't cost too much. As a commuter, it isn't that easy to judge rolling resistance and I'm not taking corners at high speed, testing out whether the tires grip the road nicely, but my impression is that these tires do a reasonable job of such things.

The one strange thing about Vredestein tires is that they claim to tolerate and also require high pressure - in my view, unbelievable high. The sidewall of this tire says that the minimum PSI is 115 (!) and the not-to-exceed pressure is 160 !! (This is for the 25 mm size.) Once, as an experiment, I put in more than 100 PSI but the tires transferred all the road nice in a rather unpleasant way. I usually inflate these to about 85 PSI and it's fine.

I would guess I get around 3000 miles out of the back tire for one of these, which seems good.

BTD occasionally has these on special at a very good price, when they are a great value.

Really like these tires. They ride best at the high end of the pressure range.

I have been riding this tire for at least the last 5 years. It delivers everything. Comfort, durability and quick rolling. I have no idea why you would need to spend anymore money on a tire. When it on sale here at BTD I Stock up.

Great tire. Excellent grip. Very nice ride. Great speed. Ride better at the higher end of the tire pressure spectrum.

Excellent tires!

I'm rotating this into all my road bikes. Excellent all around tire. Best value I've found.

Never again spend $60 $70 on tires

That are over rated and priced. Get this tire low as $ when on sale

At bike tires direct I'm 215 pounds and run them at 120 psi. Plenty fast and durable thru New York City streets

The tires are great. Have only used about 200 miles since putting them on bike so far, but think they look good and grip the road very nice.

Tire is fairly light and rolls smoothly.

Riding this brand tire for 20 years! Will never change

The Fortezza TriComp (25mm) has been our tandem tire for about 8 years and have been everything we want in a road tire! A tandem puts very high stresses on its tires - theses are the ones that have held up the best of any that we have used.

Ridden over 3000 mi this summer, tires still in good shape, only a few minor cuts. Smooth ride, fairly easy to mount. Occasionally on sale, can't be beaten for the price.

The super low price I paid for these terrific tires has me wishing I'd have bought two more. This is my first time using 25C tires after ten years of 23C's. These Vredestein 25C tires are so smooth with great traction cold or hot. Just as great of a rain tire as my Michelin Pro 3's & 4's have been.

Used these tire the last two years and have no complaints. Great tires
