VittoriaCorsa G+ Clincher(Return to Product Page)

I've been riding the 28mm version of these tires for over a year, mostly on road but some gravel too. They feel great, provide a really smooth ride, and inspire confidence while cornering. In the year of use, I've had just one flat. I love these tires and will buy another set when the time comes!

These tire roll exceptionally smooth, especially when they are paired with latex tubes. I have complete confidence cornering with these tires. My only concern, is overall the durability of the tire, especially the sidewalls. I can get good mileage by rotating the tires, when the rear tire tread starts to wear down. I really don't have many issues with flatting, as long as I maintain the proper air pressure and avoid road the hazards.

Given the quality of the ride, I will be willing to sacrifice durability. The smoothness, grip in the corners and rolling resistance is worth the expense. Plus, they look awesome, when mounted on my Zipp 404's. I only wish I could run the 28's.

This tire rolls extremely well and holds up to the roads in the northeast.

Unfortunately I must have received a defective tire, the tread basically peeled off and delaminated no response from BTD which was a bit strange their customer service is usually spot on. Had maybe 300 miles on them

Was worried about flats based upon other reviews but I have not experienced one yet although I've only put about 1,000 miles on them. Definitely a more compliant ride than conti 4000s but probably will wear out faster. Using these w Vittoria latex tubes on carbon ENVE disc wheels. 25mm width w 75-80 psi FR great combo for stiff wheels and frame (Pinarello F8 disc).

Always used the Vittoria pave CG111 a great tire, thought I would give this tire a shot, with very little miles on the tire the sidewall blew next to the bead! this cut my grand fondo that I spent money on for the day, wouldn't recommend these tires, and another thing customer services is non existence, tried to contact them for a replacement but no response!

These tires look sharp, are comfortable, roll fast, and grip nicely in corners. I've had two sets of them on Reynolds Attack carbon wheels, they last 2,500-3,000 miles, and the come off and on without much trouble. I weigh 155 lbs. and inflate about 85 psi rear and 75 front. I would say puncture resistance is average or slightly better than average.

I've been a fan of multiple generations of Vittoria Corsa tires. I like the looks of the new tread and tan sidewall. So far they ride well. I don't have enough miles on them yet to determine if they really are as durable as the old Pave tires.

I was really hesitant about these tires and rode them breifley and went back to my Corsa Evo CXIII's. Finally put them back on and really gave em a chance. I'm really glad I did. These roll fast and smooth with confidence inspiring grip. I ride high TPI tires because I just love the feel and these deliver.i have a set of 25's on my race bike and picked up a set of 28's to run on my Diverge. I admit these are pricey tires and from a practical standpoint most people can't justify the cost but i will say these are worth it to me. I have heard of flat issues and possible concerns of longevity but so far these tires are on par with anything else I have used.

have these mounted on a set of Zipp 303 and Rovels 32's

I have about 1k miles on these tires and so dad have been very pleased. No flats and a great riding tire.

I was lucky enough to snag a pair of these brand new tires before we even got our first shipment, and—this being the dead of winter—I threw them on my road training bike to abuse them outside of their comfort zone. Traditionally, Vittoria's elite Corsa models are thoroughbred race tires through-and-through, so for training purposes I was signing up to accept the risk of a few extra "roadside breaks." A couple of minutes spent patching tubes would be worth the promise of an extra supple ride and super amazing handling, right? To my surprise, this new Corsa design actually surpassed my pessimistic preconceptions, raising the bar on pretty much every front.

First off, the ride quality rivals that of tubulars. Yeah, everyone says that when talking about high-end clincher tires, but this is the real deal. I'm on the lighter end of the spectrum, and have been running the 700c x 25mm variety a little below 90PSI. The result is super speedy and road-conforming, even on rough pavement and gravel. The supple casing construction allows the tire to float over surface imperfections without any of the buzz or chatter you get with rigid training tires or lesser race tires (it makes them easier to mount too, but your experience may vary :) ). As for the grip, the brand new G+ compound is a shockingly noticeable step up from the already pretty great multi-stage compounds of the previous Corsa and Rubino lines. Combined with the slightly lower pressures I've been running, this new rubber layup delivers such positive cornering feedback, it actually begs you to lean a little further than you might normally when navigating twisty, technical decents.

Finally, despite these major performance enhancements, and after a couple hundred harsh winter miles, I am surprised to have not yet experienced any significant trade-offs in the durability department. That said, I should still point out that obviously these are far from the toughest tires on the block. As I eluded to above, they're designed for competitive conditions and the demands of pro riders—all-out speed and superb cornering traction come first. So while the Corsas are absolutely ideal for groomed course conditions and summer hammer-fests, if you're going to use them in a similar training capacity to my experience on them, you'll have to be a bit careful about where you aim your wheel (broken glass and potholes should be avoided, for starters). All disclaimers aside, they're tougher than they let on.

So, if you've stuck with me so far I'll do you a favor and wrap this up quickly. By way of summation, I'd dare to say that with an exceptional ride, outstanding grip, and surprising durability for a competition-worthy race tire, Vittoria's new Corsa design is up there with some of the best tires I've ever had the pleasure to ride. Another glass of Kool-Aid please.

These tires are light, and glide on the smooth pavement. An added plus is that they look great. Unfortunately, they are not as durable as I had hoped. I read about the new graphene for increased durability. I've got about 900 miles on them, and I will need to replace very soon. the tread cuts easily, and one of the cuts has just penetrated the rubber a little. A more major concern is that some of the rubber at the siping edge of the contact patch is starting to detach. Almost like it was glued on, and I don't want it to come unglued on a long descent. Nice tires, but safety and durability are suspect.

Used to use the Paves. These seems as good or better for cornering, but so far have been very durable. Nice tire.

Supple and smooth. This is my favorite summer tire, hands down.

I put these on my Seven Evergreen S and they've been great for a responsive, supple ride across mostly urban conditions. I have yet to take them out on the gravel but that's next!

I have been riding the continental GP 4000 II tires for the past two seasons, I decided to try these VITTORIA CORSA CLINCHER tires and I have to say these are just as fast, just as grippe and more of a supple ride. they maybe a little more pricy but you won't be disappointed in the purchase.

these will be my go to tires.

I've put about 150 miles on a 23 mm pair of these tires so far, including a P12 race that included some pretty torn up roads. When I first pulled them out of the box, they definitely feel like a race clincher, that is to say the feel pretty thin and fast like the old Open Corsa CX (which are quick but rather delicate), so I was skeptical of their durability at first sight, though the whole point of the new graphene compound is that it adds protection without compromising speed, grip, or suppleness.

So far they've held up every bit as good as Vittoria claimed they would. Through glass, gutter debris, and chewed up asphalt, I've still been railing corners at 35 mph with complete confidence. The best part about this tire is that it feels exactly how the highest-end race-only clinchers from just the last couple years feel, except now, they don't get a puncture or a slashed sidewall every time you look at them the wrong way. The protection of the graphene is not something that affects the ride quality of this tire at all. You only know it's there because you consistently come out of a debris-ladened lines unscathed and still ready to keep racing.

Grip, speed, and suppleness are all there, too, but that's to be expected from a race clincher these days. However, in tandem with confidence-inspiring flat protection without losing grip or making by bike ride like a brick, that's what will be keeping these tires on my race rig all season. Heck, after I put some more miles on them, I might even decide they're robust enough to use as an everyday tire, too.

And also, skinwalls are always the correct choice.

I love the tire. It's a great and smooth ride. They feel like the old sew-ups I used to race on. The only bummer is they seem to wear out quick and I get flats somewhat often. Maybe it's a better tire for racing than training?

I loved the Pave tires and these are just as good. Hold the road well, petty good puncture resistance (they are soft though and get little slits like the Paves used to). I just rode Tour de Blast (Mt. St. Helens) and the road had some recent 'chipseal' (WA504) - never seen so many flats. Reports of over 50! - me? No flats, though I did stop on the way down to pick out little obsidian pieces of chips every 10-20 miles. Left little slits though the tires seem ok. I use 25s.
