Zaffiro Pro G2.0 Road Bike Tire for Performance Training in All Conditions

Bought this to replace a worn down Continental Gatorskin. So far after a couple hundred miles on mostly smoothish black top, I really have no complaints. Wear is good/normal, the ride seems smoother (aluminum frame ’93 Cannondale) than the Gatorskins, and no punctures yet. I have full confidence in these for the days I get a chance to go out on long rides of 50+ miles.Using Gatorskins for so long, I forgot how difficult it was to get the last length of bead on rims. A little soapy water, zip tie, and tire lever, and the tire mounted nice and tight.Pretty good value I think if you don't want to spend the extra money on higher end tires. I don't have any regrets except for feeling guilty not purchasing a Gatorskin.

Pretty good price and arrived quickly. Used these tires for years and these a great for the price

FIVE STARS, The Best Training/Riding Tire.

First time using Vittoria tires, so I went entry-level to get a feel for the brand.These have been reliable and performed well in (so far) 5 months of use. I installed them (700x23) on my road bike in October 2022 and 90 rides later I have over 2800 km (1800 miles) on them. The fact that in this time, I have only one flat on the unmaintended and crack-filled streets of San Jose makes that all the more impressive.They may not be the fastest, lightest or most responsive. But they are not slow, heavy or unresponsive.Cons:- not super easy to get the tire on and off the rim- the rated tire pressure (7-10 bar or 100-145 psi) is WAY TOO HIGH. The tires will perform like rocks, flat easier and wear faster at those pressures. I am running mine at 90 (front) and 95 (back) and the durability, comfort and performance have improved significantly!

Soft amazing

I always buy the Vittoria Tires. I've been riding with Rubino Pro or the Zaffiro Pro for years and logged over 19,000 miles. On average, I get around 2 to 3 thousand road bike miles, that's a year of riding for me. I run the tires with tire inner liners and gel tubes on carbon wheels. If I'm lucky, I may get one flat a year. For a perspective, I live in goat head country in the central valley of California. I don't race, I do a lot of endurance riding. I see a lot of complaints on some reviews about the difficult installation of these tires. If you are putting the new tire on cold, it will be an exhausting/frustrating task and you will likely break a couple tire levers in the process. A little advice: take the tire out of the package, unfold and round out the tire, and lay in the sun on a sidewalk for 30 minutes. When the tire is warm/hot, it will expand/stretch and make easy to install. Just a reminder, the tires are directional, so look for the arrow before installing. The Zaffiro max pressure is rated at 130 psi and minimum pressure is 87 psi. I keep my pressure around 115-117 psi. For the price, these are good tires for the average consistent rider.

Horrible tires. What bikes come with was way better. This is a crap

Excellent grip, nice looks, no wear at 1000 miles so far. Great price.
