VredesteinFortezza TriComp(Return to Product Page)

This is a fast tire with very steady cornering. I have about ridden about 1500 miles so far with no flats and minimal signs of wear. I have been using this tire over the years and has always been happy with the results.

I like these tires better than Continental Grand Prix 4000s!

Lulled into buying another pair of these as I felt the price was too good to pass up. Not worth the hassle of flat repairs after only a few hundred miles. Casing is very puncture prone. Better off spending a few more bucks and getting something that will give you better service!

2000 miles per tire

Got around 3,400 miles before 12 ear through on center of tire showed up. Climb about 200,000 feet a year.

I put a pair of these in 25c on my road race bike that I mostly just use for faster club rides. I've used them for rides up to a century and they're smooth rolling with ok traction. I wasn't impressed with their performance on wet pavement. Great flat protection in mixed city riding, road, urban trails, highway. Vredestein recommends high pressures in their tires,and this one's minimum pressure is the max pressure of my carbon wheel. At that pressure, 8 bars, it still rolls without too much resistance and also smooths out some road chatter.

I've ridden many a tire, both on the racing circuit and recreational trips around town, and the Vredestein Fortezza Tricomp tire is 2nd to none when it comes to performance, cornering, ease of installation and durability. There may be faster tires out there, but you will be hard pressed to find a tire that feels like a tubular, yet with some of the advantages of a premium clincher tire. Although the Fortezza Comp has been replaced with other tires in the Vredestein lineup, you can still find the Tricomp, usually at a discounted price.

Just rode a century with them yesterday. I was pleasant surprised with how nicely they roll. They corner well, too. I have not yet ridden them in wet conditions, but I expect they'll do fine.
