VittoriaZaffiro 700c Road Tire (Wire Bead)(Return to Product Page)

Bought these as replacement tires for a 93 Giant Kronos road bike, have ridden approximately 60 miles on them. Have performed beyond my expectations, even on packed gravel- was on an unfmiliar trail and he asphalt ended and the hardpack began. They handled very well. I am looking forward to putting more miles on them soon.

This is my third set of Vittoria road tires. I wore the first two sets out after thousands of trouble free miles on each. This set is on it's fourth month, 1500 miles, with no issues. I typically ride 5 days a week at an aggressive pace on paved rail trails. Are there better ties out there? Probably, but it's hard to beat the value of this solid performer.

I have been using Zaffiro training tires for years, starting with the Zaffiro 2 (what a great tire!), and moving on to the Zaffiro 3 (Good tire but not as good as the 2 version). Recently I bought some Zaffiro training (some people are calling this tire the the Zaffiro 4).

Recently I bought a batch of the new Zaffiro training tires and I was shocked at the quality difference. You could feel the difference and also see it stamped into the side of the tire showing a maximum pressure of 90 pounds. I did not ride on them (I run 100 pounds in my 28mm tires) I sent them back to the Bike Tires Direct and exchanged them for a different tire. These tires would probably be fine for lighter weight riders but not for us Clydesdales .

It was user-error, admittedly, but I was inflating these after first install with a pump with no gauge. I over-inflated and blew the tube. This also created a 3-inch gash in the tire, making my new purchase useless. I can use the second one on my indoor trainer, but I'd be weary of taking these out on the road.

Now over 1000 miles on these without an issue. Have changed tubes once and that's it! These tires have seen all kinds of surfaces and have provided a solid training tire. Just ordered another set as it's time for a changeout.

I keep 10 or so on hand for me and my wifes bike. I would guess I get 2-4,000 per tire. I ride like 10,000 miles per year. I feel, especially for the money, these tires are tough to beat. I like the resistance to flats..yes I have had flats but all in all..not bad in my opinion. They ride nice....and in my opinion, they wear well, especially for the price!

I ordered the 32mm for my commuter bike. Seems to be a solid yet still fast tire.

I have had no problem at all with this tires. For the price you can't go wrong.

Good overall budget tire. Seats on the rim without bulging or being sloppy.

Good tires for the price, is a good train tire and I use is on a regular basis leading up to races.

Perfect for refurbishing a bike to re-sell.

This is my fourth set. Rarely flat with them. Easily get 2000 miles. Low rolling resistance means you glide forever down hill and get the most from every pedal stroke.

EXCELLENT TIRE

This is an unbeatable value for a commute tire. I know people who use them for training but in my experience they don't grip really well on wet surfaces so I'm always extra careful. They are durable and puncture resistant which is perfect for commuting.

For the money these tires can't be compared too. Never had less than two thousand miles before changing them. I've had more expensive tires and these are just as fast with smooth rolling resistance and I like the safety aspect with them. 700x25

Very tight fit on the rim. Hope I don't get a flat on the road and need to get the tire off with plastic levers. Haven't used it much yet but it seems to ride smoothly. It is a moderately heavy tire with no bells or whistles but is bargain priced and does the job.

I bought 4 of them so far 2 developed huge bumps on them after a few weeks and had to be tossed
