Vittoria
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.
When my usual go-to tires were discontinued, I had to start shopping for a replacement. I read the reviews of the Vittoria Corsa G2.0 and saw that people either loved them or hated them. When I saw reviews that said they were a fast tire, I decided to give them a try. I have had these tires on my bike for two months now. My usual ride is about thirty-five miles on city streets. So far, the tires have performed flawlessly. I have not yet had one flat. The ride is comfortable and smooth. You can hear that smoothness if the wind isn't blowing in your ears. When I had the tires on for a few weeks and knew that I loved them, I bought a second pair to have ready when the need arises. If you want speed and comfort, these tires are for you!
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
I run tubeless tires, so I always carry a pressurized sealant cartridge. I used to carry the Hutchinson sealant (Fast'Air). However, I was in Kalispell MT, and needed a cartridge, as I did not have any Hutchinson. I went to a local bike shop, and asked for the Hutchinson product, but they did not have it. However, they said, "try this", showing me the Vittoria. So, I bought 2, and have not been disappointed. The main thing I like is ease of use - compared to the Hutchison sealant cartridge, the Vittoria is much easier to use, as the nozzle fits directly on the Presta valve, unlike the Rude Goldberg (sorry I am dating myself) setup of the Hutchison cartridge. BTD carries both, but I would suggest going w/ the Vittoria.
