Vittoria Corsa G2.0 Road Tyre - Black

Best in class. A light, fast racing tyre that withstands training kilometres. They feel like they wear quickly after mounting, but then retain their tread and shape for a surprisingly long time. Quite puncture resistant. Can be tight to mount, but not a big issue if you have a seating tool (which you should anyway). Great value for money.

ABSOLUTE RUBBISH AND NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE

2 x tan wall tires - both failed and split at the join between the tan wall and the lower part of the tire (in exactly the same way). This happened very early on, within weeks. Vittoria must know this is an issue. Not fit for purpose.1 x black tire. The tire split between the grooves on the contact point with the road. Very little use again - image attached. You can see the tread is like new.I used the tubular Vittoria Corsa when I was riding at a reasonably high level ( for GB) and do not recall any issues. However, I can 100% confirm that the tires I have used recently, are not fit for purpose.DO NOT MAKE TIRES THAT ARE SUB-STANDARD PLEASE.

Fautly product

I bought this tyre in 30c and did a tubeless set up with it. It blew off the wheel rims at only 70PSI, thankfully while stationery after I had done 70km. I refitted it back home and same thing happened, this time at 65PSI. I raised the issue with Sigma and they blamed everything except the tyre such as the tape etc... I've been riding tubeless for 5 years and never experienced anything like this before. Have put different pair of tubeless tyres on since and absolutely no problems at all, so I can only presume this tyre from Vittoria was supplied damaged.

Good, but not great

The Corsa is a lovely tyre that offers a great 'feel' (supple), speed and grip. It is also very light and looks fantastic (IMHO), at least for a while. However, it is not cheap and the wear is not as good as some of the other options at this level (Conti 5000, for example). The other downside is that the lovely tan walls do get very messy/stained if caught in some filthy conditions and they just don't clean up ever again. Puncture resistance is adequate for most conditions but not great (for a fast and supple tyre that will usually be an accepted trade off so it is not a problem for me).

Great

Used these for over a year, run with latex tubes and no issues. Have taken them on unsealed roads (although chose my line carefully) without issue.Feel more supple than conti 5000’s, seem to grip in the wet but not as supple as veloflex clinchers but then the veloflex are far less puncture resistant so it’s about checks and balances. No such thing as a perfect tyre.Easy to get on and off the rim without tools. Happily purchased these again and recommended to friends who like them too.

Puncture Resistant

I’m an ex racing cyclist and ride about 150 miles a week. I have used these tyres for a few years now. They grip well and have good puncture resistance. They don’t lose traction easily on steep wet climbs like some overly hard compounds do especially in very cold weather. Good cornering at high speeds. The tan walls look like the old tubs used to. The bead isn’t so tight that you can’t get them back on at the roadside. Bit pricey but buy them in threes and you’ll wear out two rear for one front while having a spare. Good tyres

Shredded After 20 Miles

The durability on these tires is atrocious. They were punctured after a single 20 mile road the very first time I took them out. I had a pair of Victoria Pro Slick tires that lasted me well over a thousand miles with no issues whatsoever, whereas these just disintegrated upon first contact with the asphalt. A complete waste of time and money. Do not purchase.

Top Quality, do-everything tyres

Fast, grippy, supple, robust and look the goods. This about sums these tyres up. I've even done close to 1000 km on gravel on the 30c and even then they hold up extremely well.The only issue I have with them is they're supposed to be available in 32c but I've NEVER seen them available anywhere, like they don't exist or something.

Tough to seat, seem OK

Put these tires onto ENVE SES 3.4 AR rims. These tires were so loose I was able to get both beads into the center channel with NO tools. While that sounds like a good thing, I repeatedly had issues getting the tire to take any air to try to seat the beads. I tried pumping with no valve core, I tried soapy water, I tried the Airshot cylinder. Nothing would get them to take air and seat. I finally took them to a bike shop - we got one seated, but the other would STILL not take air. The employee told me to reach out to backcountry to return the tire.I had one trick left: put in a tube, seat the tire, take out the tube and try again. This was successful, but I will note that I had to pressure up to 130psi to get both beads to seat and "click". This is technically at ... MorePut these tires onto ENVE SES 3.4 AR rims.

This was successful, but I will note that I had to pressure up to 130psi to get both beads to seat and "click". This is technically at the max rating of the tire tubed, and near/above the max rating of the rim. With both tires seated, I thought I was victorious, added the sealant and pressured up to about 60psi per ENVE weight recommendations.The tires proceeded to lose air and sealant at about 10psi/hr (with me repumping them, rotating them) for about 24 hours. After the 24 hrs, the tires seemed to hold and I did a test ride. Again things seemed to hold, but I'm pretty weary after the significant pressure loss initially.I've put about 120 miles in 2 rides on them now and they seem OK. For such nice tires and brand, I feel like things could have been smoother in the setup. Now that they're holding air, things seem to be OK, but I'm not overly "wowed" by them. They're fine. I have some tubeless Panaracers on my gravel bike and have been very happy there so far.

Vittoria Quality at Jenson Prices

Vittoria makes the largest (28mm) tubular tires. I tried these tuned versions of that tire and was amazed at the similar road feel, flat resistance and overall quality. Of course many vendors sell these tires, however Jensen routinely provides the best price for this quality tire. Shipping time and delivery is unrivaled! Need I say more?
