Good, but has issues.

I have been a fan of the Rubino Pro for years. Fantastic tire in nearly every condition that you could throw at it. Both tube or tubeless models have excellent grip, wear is not excessive, although your experience will vary with air pressure, frequency of riding and road conditions. Downside with graphine editions of the tire (my experience.) Cuts can occur at times easily, once the wear has been prolonged, you could ... could experience the rubber on the center tread in spots; peel back to expose the cords. Now this has happened to me with only the tubeless model. All that being said, none of this should be a detraction from purchasing the Rubino Pro. If you are coming from a GP5000 or Vittoria Corsa. You will notice a slight change in ride quality. This can be adjusted with air pressure. I have found the Rubino to have just as good a grip as GP5000 or Corsa. The ride feel is just not quite as smooth. Again this will be determined by air pressures, wheels and frame.

Thank you for your feedback.

Issues with sidewall blowouts

Been using these tires (and the Corsas) for years as they mount relatively easily on my Shamaal wheels, but three of the last five tires have had issues with the sidewall right above the bead. A small tear/hole appears and then the inner tube blows out. The latest had less than 200 miles on it. Don't know what's going on here.

Thank you for your feedback.

disappointed in width and ride

I wanted to get the maximum width that my chainstays would accommodate for my casual road bike to soften/improve the ride. The wheels are HED Ardennes with a 21mm internal width. I was running an old set of Michelin Pro2, 700x25, which measured 700x27 on these wide rims. The Vittoria 700x28, measured 700x28, which tells me they would measure less than 28mm on older narrow rims such as my Mavic Ksyrium Elites with their 14mm rim width. This indicates they are undersized. Curious what other people are measuring once mounted.

To give you an example of rim width affecting tire width, I mounted 700x25 Michelin Pro4 Endurance on my new HED Ardennes+ with its 25mm rims. The 25mm tires stretched out to 29.5mm on those rims. This is in line with what HED promotes/claims. I was expecting to get at least 30mm on my new Vittoria tires with my 21mm Ardenne rims.

The last point. Another reviewer compared the Vittorias to Michelin Pro4 Endurance and said they were more compliant/softer or something like that. I run both the Pro4s and the Pro2's. I can definitely say my Michelin Pro2's were more comfortable tires than these Vittoria's that replaced them. So these tires were disappointments in both areas.

Maybe they handle better. On this bike, I'm not pushing that on the local MUP, so it is a minor consideration.

To end on a positive note, I got the two-pack with tubes. Great value and they look great on a vintage bike with the tan sides.

Thank you for your feedback.

These tires are really that good...

Before trying these tires I was only using Continental Grand Prix's and Specialized Turbo Cotton's on my Specialized Tarmac and was having issues finding them, so I started looking for something to hold me over and came across these tires. I figured to give them a go till I get a set of tires I am used to, and man was I surprised. I really like how these tires roll and feel on the bike.

At this price point, quality, and feel, I personally am not finding any reason to go back to the other tires.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great tire for the money

These tires ride like more expensive offerings from other brands. They are very sensitive to air pressure changes. A middle-of-the-road pressure will give you a very balanced ride with great grip, good rolling resistance, and nice shock absorption. More pressure makes the tire faster and handle quicker, but still offer confidence in corners. A little lower pressures will take the edge off of hits and make long distances easier on your body while still providing solid cornering. I've run through a few patches of broken glass and not had any flats. They're wearing pretty well too.

Thank you for your feedback.

Good value road tire, delivered quickly

This tire is one of the few quality bike tires available that offers the red sidewall which looks fabulous on my old school red road bike. The road feel is great. I have ridden about 100 miles on them so far and I look forward to many more miles of smooth riding ahead.

Thank you for your feedback.

Victoria is my go to tire choice and Ribino pro is the one I use for training because it's durable and I don't have to worry about it'

Outstanding Product

The Vittoria Rubino is the perfect combo of fast training tire, and perfect for the occasional group ride, that you know.... turns into an all out race. Corner's well, smooth AND flat resistant! Great value for the price!

HIGH PRESSURE ROAD TIRES

25mm road tires, 130 pressure. As a heftier rider I need high pressure tires to resist snake bite punctures. Like the red sidewalls to coordinate with the bike. No problems.

Superior Overall Tire

I have ridden 2-3 sets of these in all weather conditions in New Mexico, where the worst of all thorns - the notorious goat heads - and pebbles, rocks, and glass line our roads. I get excellent mileage out of them, rarely flat, and man are they fast. They are easy to mount and remove (one Pedro's tire lever is sufficient). They are more comfortable than most other road racingtraining tires I have used. I used to ride Conti GP 4000S. The Vittoria are less costly and last a lot longer (2-3 times longer in my experience) on our really prickly and rough New Mexico roads. Still, these are not commuter tires as I have read in another review. If you want a commuter tire try the Specialized All-Weather Armadillo. Perhaps the Vittoria Rubino Pro Control would be a solid choice for commuting but I have never ridden it.

Thank you for your feedback.

One of the best tires all around.

My bicycle came with a similar tires, but these ones are way superior, very light weight, I ride two times a week for about 20 miles each, I think I rode this tires for about 500 miles and they look brand new not flats. I believe these tire are going to last for a while. Highly Recommended. Best place to buy them BIKETIRESDIRECT.COM

L'Eroica worthy

I bought the 30mm version to use for the Eroica ride in Tuscany. I fitted these to the vintage steel framed bike and they performed perfectly. I couldn't be any happier with them after conquering the long course, 100k gravel and 109k pavement. They rolled very well and cornered well on the pavement switchbacks, they tracked well in the gravel and hardback. If the gravel got deep and soft, I started to get a little loose but hey, these aren't MTB tires. No flats! I saw countless people changing tubes on the side of the road through the event. I'm sold on these as a durable, fast trainingracing tire if your roads are less than perfect. Go with the Corsas if you have perfect pavement and need every little bit of decreased rolling resistance, but these will take care of you in any tougher environment. BTW, these are a huge step up from the old Rubino Pros (2010 or so).

Thank you for your feedback.

Replacement for Bontrager

These were replacement on my Trek Madone 4.5. I wanted a whitewall road bike tire and my original Bontragers were no longer available. These ride great and appear more durable. I have about 250 miles so far and I have no complaints. Also look great.

Solid tires at reasonable price

I've found the Rubinos to be straightforward to mount and get very few flats. On the downside they seem to wear faster than I'd expect, but the roads I ride on are very rough so perhaps that's just par for the course.
