Good durability at a reasonable price.

I use a set of these on my Kreitler aluminum rollers. Very pleased with the durability of these tires. Rear tires last about 5,000 miles before the sidewall weakens and develops a blister. Front tires last about 8,000 miles with the same result. I'm assuming that the heat from constant friction eventually wears down the material. I have no complaints-these tires are worth the price!

Training tire

Solid tire. Doesn't slip like other training tires I have used. Doesn't overheat and holds pressure like a champ. Shipped out quickly and exactly as described. BTD is the best place to get all your cycling gear. Prices are always cheaper than anywhere else. Selection is awesome and if you ever have issues with anything, the staff is there for immediate assistance. Everyone at the office is super knowledgeable and great to chat with. Been a customer for years and will be a customer for many more. Happy holidays everyone

Difficult Install

This was very difficult to install. It seemed unnecessarily tight almost as though it was too small for a 700c rim. I used it to replace my Kurt Kinetic trainer tire used on a Smart Control Trainer. The Vittoria didn't run any cooler or provide any better wear or traction than the Kinetic, cost more, and was problematic trying to install. My road tires are Vittoria Corsa II Control's and are exceptional so I thought I'd try their trainer tire. Meh.

Great tire

I have used this tire on my old fashion trainer and it seems to hold it self together better than a regular tire. I have used it for the last 500 miles in the trainer and still in good shape

Works better than old road tire - but prefer a competitor

I currently have both the Vittoria Zaffiro Pro Home Trainer and the Continental Hometrainer. I use them on the same trainer, but different bikes. The Continental is on a better wheelset than the Vittoria. Overall, both work much better than an old road tire (Continental GP 4000s). You will probably be happy with the Vittoria, but I find the Continental has less slip when I really crank on the pedals. I can't rule out the possibility that the slight performance difference is due to the better wheelset. If I had to get another training tire I would pay the premium for the Continental. With only limited use on both tires there is no sign of wear - just make certain to keep them pumped up to at least 100psi.

Seems to reduce slippage

Only have two uses on this tire, but so far it seems to be slipping far less on my Kinetic trainer than the road tire it replaced. No rubber dust after a workout either.

Don't know about tire life yet, but I'm happier now than before I bought it...

Gave it another try and I'm pleasantly surprised

I've gotten into indoor training pretty heavily (for me) over the past year, and unfortunately have gone through trainer tires really quickly (I think). One Vittoria Zaffiro Pro Home Trainer for only about 500 miles, then 2 of the Conti HomeTrainers giving me 600 and 1200 miles individually, and now back to this Vittoria for my 4th tire in the past 9 months. This one's been solid for about 700 miles so far, and it's still looking practically new.

For the money, this tire works even better than its main competition. The compound on this tire is a little soft, which gives it a smooth ride, and as long as you keep a fan on it, inflate it to just over 100 psi and don't overtighten it to the drive surface, it seems to have really good longevity. Maybe the first one of these I tried long ago was just a dud, but I'm impressed with this trainer tire now!

Great tire

I bought this tire for my Kickr Snap. The tire went on the rim easily and is showing no wear after about 400 miles on the trainer. I also thought the value was good. I'd get this tire again.

Super Quiet - Finally an end to the death squeal

Tired of mega loud squealing from regular old bike tires on your bike trainer? This is your solution. I have a yelloworange version for mine and just got this one for my wife's bike. All quiet on the basement front. So worth it.

Perfect trainer tire

Have now uses for 900km and still barely weathered the rubber. This is so affordable and functional. Perfect for the PNW winter indoor trainer.

Great trainer tire.

Happy with this so far. Previously used regular tire and my tubes would flat after short time. This is much cooler temp. Also quieter than normal tire.

Replacement for 1st one that lasted 6 years!

Purchased Same tire back in 2009 when I started to get more serious about cycling. Spent 100s of hours on the trainer with it. It finally wore down to the point where it was not gripping the roller very well. Very durable, and fairly quiet on the trainer.

Good buy for the money!

I have raced bikes for over 12 years and live in the Northeast. I would just use old tires from racing on my trainer and thought that was ok. I decided to get the trainer tire and huge difference. Where have I been. Best thing I ever did and super cheap.

Quiet and red

I don't know what to say, it's a trainer tire. Huge improvement in noise levels and feels like I need a less force pressing the roller against the tire to avoid slipping.

Pros red color makes it a fantastic Valentine's day gift, great traction against metal roller, quiet enough to ride while the baby sleeps in the same room.

Cons in my experience, the Zaffiros are a PITA to mount. You'll probably want to pick up a few celebratory beverages for when you finally manage to get that second bead in place. I keep an old rear wheel with this tire specifically for the trainer to avoid swapping tires.

Great tire for rollers

I am using this tire on a set of Cyclops rollers so I can keep my expensive tires for outdoor use. I like the quality and wear this tire provides. It mounted with out issue for me on my Boyd Altamont wheel and because I do not have a dedicated wheel for this tire yet it gets changed a good amount. I am pretty brand loyal and Vittoria is my tire choice but it is a good tire for its intended use so I have no reason to try any thing else.
