Vittoria Terreno Dry G2.0 Gravel Tire

Wanted a bigger tire for riding on hard pack dirt. Ride on a lot of pavement, too, just to get to the dirt. I like the 33mm size, it's a cushy ride vs typical road tires, and seems to roll just fine on pavement. I've used many different Vittoria tires over the years, some very good, some not all that great. I probably would not buy this again, so three stars. Based on actual performance, it would be four stars. But: it is very hard to get on and off a Sun CR18 rim. I had to buy a Koolstop tire jack & carry it with me. Also, you'll need two (not one) steel tire levers. Plastic won't work. This may be due to the rim, which is generally difficult to mount/remove tires, I don't know, but it is difficult. Wear seems kind of not great, the fish scales are mostly gone after not many miles. That's ok, I don't think they really did anything anyway, but. Also I seem to get a lot of flats with this tire.

I've been a fan of Vittorio tires for a little over 10 years now. I got these because I ride a lot of hard pack and road/chipseal to gravel. I was not overly impressed with their performance on some loose climbs, may have been pressure but I feel like the file tread hurt a little. Otherwise these things are bullet proof, I use MucOff sealant and I have never had an issue. I run 40s on two gravel bikes and I seriously just don't think about them. I'm probably going to put the 33s on my greenway bike.

The Vittoria Terreno Dry G2.0 Gravel Tire are the best for road and hard pack Gravel and they�re very fast on road and gravel. I have these on my gravel bike in my single speed gravel bike But one thing they are not good in sands in wet conditions on gravel roads but they worth the money I like them.

This tire is VERY VERY VERY hard to install tire. I have been a professional mechanic going back to the 80's, so needless to say this is not my first rodeo. After much frustration I took this to my local shop (service only), they charged me $xx each to install the two tires and tubes. This was a massive bargain! Don't even attempt this without a tire jack (like the one make by Koolstop). Both tires required two mechanics working together, with one finally giving up and leading the Service Manager assist. He said this was hands down the hardest tire install he has ever done in his 30 years of experience (took 25 minutes of struggle to just get the first bead on).

These wheels are going on a vintage Alan cyclocross build (NOS from 1984). I intend to ride this bike, but my struggle now is what the heck am I going to do if I have a flat on the trails?? I will install some tubeless sealant and pray I don't get any punctures.

This is my second time buying these tires after my originals ones wore out. I use them on my gravel bike on the Florida levees which are rough dry gravel trails with sharp little rocks including broken shells. I�m about 220 ibs and have used them hundreds of miles and never once had a flat. Will definitely buy same tires when the time comes.

This is my third set of Terreno Dry tires. The latest set are the 47mm. They actually measure closer to 45mm mounted on 23mm interior wheels. I have used the 38mm in the past. They are a great tire that roll well and have ample grip in most gravel applications. They wear well and mount tubeless easily. Using Orange Seal they hold air as well as any tire.

It is not stated that these tires are only meant for hooked rims---not even on the packaging or is it shown in the tire pictures on this website. I only found after opening the packaging and unfolding the tire the printing on the tire "hooked rims only". It says all over that the tires are tubeless ready. The industry needs to straighten out their terminology. Bummed that I also paid overnight shipping to use these at an event last weekend. I have a 2.1 version of these tires on my bike packing bike and love them, but those larger tires don't have the hooked rim caveat which is what really caught me off guard with these 38mm's.

I did a lot of research on gravel tires before I set my sites on these. I have about 500 miles on them so far, and they just keep shredding. I have done wet, dry, sand, and road with them and they have a lot of bite for all of it.

Easy to set up tubeless

Tough enough so far (150 miles)

Fast on hard pack - good cornering traction. Fine for short sand sections.

Good in loose gravel.

Haven�t and probably wouldn�t try in wet.

these are great gravel tires and they run pretty fast on the street and gravel very happy that I got these.

Bought these for my father's bike. He is usually a fair weather bike rider, but after a light rain, he went for a spin. After a short descent on a paved path he applied the brakes into a turn and that resulted in him going into a slide. Not necessarily the tires fault. But just a cautionary tail that they may not handle any amount of rain well.

Bought these on the recommendation of a Fondo review and I've got to say these ride bigger than their labeled size. I have these on a 23mm IW hookless carbon wheel and they inflate to over 41mm at 30psi. The grip surprisingly well, seem to roll reasonably fast (not as fast as a Gravelking, but faster than a G one all around) and are very supple. It's a perfect all around tire for gravel riding so far. The gravel roads I frequent are lots of 3/4-3" crush, packed dirt, and 'organic material', pretty much everything here has lots of 4-10% and I don't lose grip on these like I've done on my gravelkings.

These tires are fantastic. I got the dry thinking I might need a second set of "mix" or "wet" (and really hoping I would not have to). These have been unstoppable off road, and do quite well on the asphalt to get to the off-road rides. I have done limestone and dirt trails, both dry and very muddy, deep slushy snow, hard-packed snow, ice, wet grass, you name it. I only had the tires "spin" once: up 15 percent on snowy grass when I got off the saddle... plopped back down and made it up no problem. Do follow the arrows for installation, though: I went with some online advice to go backwards in back for better stopping power etc. and let's just say there is a reason the arrows are there... I had a couple nervous rides in icy and wet conditions because the back wheel would slide from under me, but it all went away went I put the back tire back the right way. This no dry tire but an awesome all around tire.

Rolls fast on multiple on multiple surfaces and grips well off road. But the tire side wall clearly state that the tire should only be mounted on hooked rims. Easten confirmed that my rims are hookless, and this tire is not compatible with hookless rims in a tubeless set up. Check your rim profile before purchasing this tire to be certain that it is hooked if you plan to run tubeless.

For context I was riding Schwable Gone bite. I have been riding these for about a month and my impression is that these tires are very fast. I ride pavement on my commute and gravel adventures on weekends or whenever possible. I noticed my top speed on a down hill on my commute has increased by a few mph. Not as much grip as the G one bite, but that is to be expected. Really good tire overall

700, 38 mm

Good overall design. Fast rolling tires. Very good grip.

Width is 40 mm on my 18 mm rims.

Unfortunately I have the front tire burst on the first ride; in pavement, and at max recommended pressure of 6 BAR. Sealant started to burst out of the hole in the tread area.

I use Stannotubes sealant, but it was not able to seal the hole.

I'm going back to WTB tires. More longevity.

Have had several early season rides in VT on these tires which are on a compact cassette endurance style road bike. They are quite and smooth on pavement and hold great on country dirt roads. As most rides around here are blend of two surfaces these tires are perfect.

Rode a set of Vittoria Terreno Dry 2.0 tires for approximately 1200 miles of gravel last year and thought they were pretty fantastic. Very comfortable and durable, zero issues with flats. Love them and will buy another pair when these are worn.

Note: Embossed on the side of the Terreno Dry 2.0 tire, it states very clearly, "MOUNT ON HOOKED RIM ONLY". if you have hookless rims, you ride at your own risk.
