Vredestein Fortezza

I weigh 155 pounds, and average about 7000 miles a year. After over 5000 miles, I just replaced my last set of Vredestein Fortezza tires with a new pair. I love the extreme pressure 160, the near total absence of flats, the fast ride and great cornering of these tires. I've tried brands costing a lot more, but really, this is my current favorite at any price!

These are a must for training. Especially if you weigh a lot. I've tried a lot of brands in my 30 plus years of riding, all others fall short.

These are not light, but they are durable, and last forever, about 2,000 per set. That's about 6 months riding for me. In that period I average about 3 flats total. Which is amazing. I would get 2-3 flats a week on Michelin or Continentals. Pinch flat's Punctures are random IMHO.
