Vittoria Corsa Pro TLR Road Tire

This is a really good tire for those times when you need a fast-rolling, smooth riding tire with just a little extra grip compared to a regular race tire. The cornering grip on these tires is incredible: when I lean the bike over into a turn I can feel the tire pulling the wheel to turn even sharper. They feel a touch less smooth than a regular race tire, but it's only marginal. The tire is quite easy to get on a rim and seats fairly easily. Overall, this is a great tire to have and to ride.

I've been riding Vittoria Corsa Pro tires since 2003, both tubular on my track bikes and clincher on my road bikes. To me, there was nothing like the feeling of that first ride with a new set of Corsa's - they were so supple and grippy. I could get more and more aggressive in cornering with those tires, and yet never reaching the slipping point, even with my inside pedal mere centimeters from the ground. But... they were expensive, and when budget sacrifices had to be made (mortgages, kids, car payments, new roofs, etc) the Vittorias sadly were usually one of the first dispensable luxuries. I settled for Conti GP 4000s and then 5000's, and frankly those are still in my opinion, the gold standard for the perfect balance of wear, grip, rolling resistance, and value.

Fast-forward 20 years, and I decided to go back to those silky smooth tires that I lusted after in my youth for my new Enve Melee road bike. I decided to go big and bought the new Corsa. Pro G2.0 tubeless for my new rig. The passion was rekindled immediately - these are simply the best road tires money can buy. Yes, they're expensive. But there is really no other tire like them. These roll so smooth, and so fast, and I found myself leaning into corners just that much harder, knowing these tires would stick like they were on rails. I also thought for sure, I would be puncturing these left and right, spewing my unsuspecting comrades riding in my draft with sealant, but so far (knock on wood) not a single puncture in 500 miles.

Will they wear out a little faster? Probably. Will they puncture more when the weather starts to turn wet and cold and the little glass shards on the road are standing on end? Maybe. But my summer with my Corsa Pro's was like no other in the past 20 years. These Corsa's will now and forever be my go-to "good weather" tires, suitable for just about any road, some dirt included. It's proven to be an undying love affair, and I'm already pining for next summer, and that first ride with a fresh set of 30mm Corsa's quietly gobbling up the road along under me.

I have been riding these for about 5000 miles and boy they are fast and reactive. Coming from a faithful GP5000 user these are significantly faster and I have only had one puncture on them (The pair already had about 4000 miles on the so it was bound to happen.) They do wear out a bit quicker the GP5000s, I recommend swapping the back tire to front and vice versa when you add sealant to get a bit more longevity out of them due to their higher price point.

Safe to say these will be my road tires for the foreseeable future.

These tires are heaven to ride, but omg they were impossible to bead onto my clincher enve 3.4s. They get onto the rim in 5 seconds and any child could get these over the rim wall, but they did not want to expand off the channel into the rim wall. After some YouTube and fifty chamber pump blasts, and some lost orange seal sealant, I got them to mount using my sturdy cargo ratchet straps. If you run into an issue getting them to blast up onto the rim wall edge, I can't stress enough to try a ratchet strap around the center line of the tire tread.

Overall, these are the most comfortable tires I've ever ridden and they feel like a dream on the road. They make my Contis feel a bit rough and I swear by Conti, but these were a nice change of pace and they make my bikes look like they're ready for a magazine cover.

I've had no flats running them tubeless.

I had been riding VC G 2.0s on my carbon bike with carbon wheels and like them very much. I bought these tan walls for my steel racer with alloy wheels. Inadvertently, I got the 'pro' version, which are more money. Anyway, they are fantastic! Make the steel bike ride so nicely that I have to question the point of a modern carbon frame, at least from the ride quality perspective. They feel so efficient and comfortable. So far, no problems at all, but I've only ridden them a few hundred miles. Presumably they won't wear as long as the non-pros but they're certainly good enough for a season or two of training and long weekend rides.

28mm mounted tubeless on 24mm internal width hookless with 62/64psi front/rear. Mounted easily (compared to GP5k) and ridden about 2000 mostly late summer and autumn New England roads. Removed and replaced with GP5kASTR for crap NE winter roads figuring those would be better armored (not because of wear). Mostly paceline with some solo use, no issues including riding quite a few miles of dirt/gravel connecting tarmac sections (typically holding breath) but no issues. Fast and smooth and the light-colored sidewall looks great! Switching to 30mm to comply with ETRTO guidelines.

Great tires for comfort, speed, cornering, and durability. In addition, they look great on the bike.

These tires are lovely and light and because of the suppleness of the casing, they are very responsive. That, however is it's largest downfall. The sidewall is tremendously fragile and if something nicks the sidewall, you will have a catastrophic puncture and it will not be repairable. You will lose all air instantly and if you are cornering, you're going to be in trouble. I didn't see anything that might have caused my flat, but I'm glad I was rolling on the flat ground. I've ordered a replacement, but this happened in the first couple of hundred miles, so if they leave me walking again, I'm done.

When it comes to the top tier tires in cycling currently you really can't go wrong. It depends on your needs and what suits your characteristics for the type of riding you do. For me, I was coming from a 30mm Continental GP5000S TR and wanted to have a more supple ride without giving too in performance, and so far this tire is that. Paired it with Silca sealant and it's been fantastic.

I have been using the higher-end Vittoria tires on my road and gravel bikes for the past two seasons, and really like the performance. I had been using the Corsa nxt and was really happy with them, and when the new Corsa Pro came out, I decided to try them. I expected them to be fast, but fragile and quick-wearing. They haven't disappointed, and have proven to be quite tough. I have ridden them on some pretty gnarly pavement as well as gravel with no problems, and they seem to be wearing considerably better than I had expected for what really is a race tire. I had purchased another pair of nxts which I mounted to a spare wheel set, intending to use those for most training rides, but several months later, I have yet to use the 'training wheels'

Fast, grippy tire. I have set a bunch of downhill PRs on my 28s (run tubeless). I use these opposite GP 5000 TLRs, which are also great. I'd say the Corsa Pros offer more road feel and sense of smooth connectedness (a bit like the Turbo Cottons I used to run) that instills more confidence as far as knowing how the tires are gripping. Both feel fast, and I've had similar degrees of luck with punctures on both. My guess, looking at the tires, is that the GP5000 will wear longer, and they are cheaper at street prices. However, I now PREFER to ride the Corsa Pros day to day.

These tires are stupid easy to mount, hold air well and have the most incredible road feel out of any tire I have ever tried. Oh yeah, and they are obscenely fast.

I am a huge Challenge/Pirelli fan but had to try these once they dropped. I always loved the old Corsa but was always scared of how fragile they were. Definitely big improvement on this new version and have sent these things through a bit of gravel, dirt and glass shard fields without issue.

Durability is not a strong suit but that should come as no surprise. They feel like a rubber band in your hand, what do you expect? If you are looking for a moderately durable tire that is obscenely fast and feels like you are riding on clouds with a tailwind, look no further.

This is a fast tire. I went though 2 rear 32mm tires in a year because I got big cut like punctures. One was shoulder of the road garbage and the other was on coarse gravel. Possibly unlucky, but the third tire has been the charm so far.

The Vittoria Corsa has great grip, light weight, and low rolling resistance. The only downside is they wear quickly, which is to be expected with race tires.

I wanted to love these tires and, indeed, the feel on the road is sublime. Running tubeless at 65/70 (F/R) they are simply the best feel on any tire I've ridden. But they are simply unreliable. Multiple times I've had them lose all air. It appears they burp with minimal sidewall pressure (for example when strapped on a car bike rack) and even after re-seating with soapy water and air compressor, they burned again. Won't be buying again for tubeless.

This is a good looking tire and it rides smooth. Good for country roads and city streets. Easy to install and fix if you get a flat.

Smooth ride. My only complaint is that they can be a bit hard to initially seat. I think it is the cotton casing that keeps the side walls from holding their shape. They tend to collapse and the bead moves away from the rim bead. Wheels are HED Jets.

I have a small pancake compressor that got them to seat. After initial install they are fine when you need to add sealant.

I was happy with the sale price on these tires. I never owned or rode them before and was very pleased with the ride and the way they are holding up with my work commute ride on these New England roads. Cant wait to buy a pair of 28mm for my race bike!

Bought these tires when they first came out. They usually last for me about 1000 to 1200 miles. If you want a Corsa Pro tire that lasts longer, check out the Corsa Pro Control tire. Have not been disappointed at all with this tire. I have ridden just as out every tire imaginable over a 30+ year cycling history.
