Vittoria Randonneur Tire

Great commuting tires, the reflective sidewall adds some great side visibility. I bought the 700x35 reflective for comfortable commuting, they are ridiculously plush at 75-80 psi.

These are some heavy piggies though, almost as heavy as my mountain bike tires, push the psi higher as the other reviewer noted for a bit more speed and confidence in corners.

Rode the 700x32 tires for 4,600 commuting miles without a puncture. Once the back tire started getting flats once a day, I knew it was toast. Front is still going strong after 6,500 miles.

These tires are great for cornering. Many a dark morning I corner hard, never knowing what new debris might be scattered on the road sand, gravel, glass, plastic, metal shards, etc.. Only one time did I get that quick, cold sweat on the forehead as I felt the bike move sideways at about 45 mph. The tires slipped a bit, but grabbed what little pavement was there, and both the bike and I made it through that turn!

These tires also handle a load. At the start of my commuting last year, I weighed 250 lbs. heaviest of my life!. Along with rear panniers carrying lunch and a change of clothes, these tires were put to the test. I have now lost over 40 lbs., but have increased the pannier loads with errand runs.

I would have given these tires 5 stars if they came with a higher recommended tire pressure. For the first few months, I rode at the recommended 75 psi. A LBS wrench told me he pushed 90 psi without trouble. At 75 psi, the tires are a bit slow. At 90 psi, I get another couple MPH, and more corner response.
