Vittoria Rubino Pro Tech III

Picked them up last year and still no flats. Great tire!

I'm running 23s on my road bike and 28s on my cross bikefast commuter. Maybe 2500 miles on the 23s and no flats. I switched the front and rear tires and probably have another 500 - 1000 miles before I switch them out. And I'm a big guy who rides hard. Essentialy a Rubino pro with better sidewall protection so you can ride them on gravel a bit. A nice, higher-performing and more supple alternative to Gatorskins and similar.

Bought a couple of these for fast rides. Have about 2000k on the rear which is pretty thin. Got one flat slow leak from a goathead thorn while in Colorado. Noticed the carcass is getting thin, but probably has another 500k left.

Not as longlasting as Armadillos but lighter and more supple.

Highly recommended. You can use a 28 on the back and a lighter tire on the front.

I ride the 700 x 25 c tire in wet winter conditions. It's a good tire with good puncture protection and good grip in wet and dry. For a 150 tpi tire they ride a bit hard but if you lower the tire pressure you will get a fairly good comfort from the tire. The rolling resistance is medium. The tires have 1700 km. and still no sign of wear and cuts and still no punctures so the durability of the rubber is very good. With 29,95 euro tire i find them a little expensive for a Rubino Pro tire but overall you get a good quality tire for the price!

I've been a big fan of the Diamante Pro and picked these up trying to find something that would give me more miles and still a good road feel. I'm a big rider 6'4 220 lbs, ride 600 - 800 miles per month, and this is not a tire I'll buy again. When I push a big gear on the flats, the rear tire would move side to side because the tire is not grippy enough. On top of that, the tire only lasted 500 miles or so while I routinely get 1200 - 1500 out of the Diamante Pros. This might be a great tire for lighter, non-mashing riders, it just didn't work at all for me.

Wanted something little heavier to take glass,thorns to limited extent and not flat. Hopefully last year or better.

I use this for my winter tire, which translate to rain tire in the Pacific NW. I found it very flat resistant and I've also noted that little rocks or pieces of glass don't tend to stick to it as some other brandmodel tires I've used. I think that this may be due to the fact this tire has actual tread. My one criticism of this tire is that when climbing a hill ( 6% grade) in the rain I can feel the tire lose a bit of traction. Not so much that it breaks loose, but enough you feel it. Arguably this isn't a great quality for a rain tire, but it's so flat resistent that I'm ok with the compromise.

For the record, I'm using the 700C x 28 Version and the ride is quite good and the tread seems to be pretty durable. I probably have 1000mi on my current set and haven't noticed any significant wear.

these are my go to training tires. they are super tough, while still retaining a little bit of feel. i run the 25c.
