i hear a lot of goodness about vredestein fortezza... does anyone ride on the tricomp version? how do you like it?

also, any links to WHITE fortezzas would be nice.

lastly: how do you pronounce "vredestein fortezza" anyway?

the fortezza tricomps are great tires, but do not skid or even skip on them much at all, they will not last -- too soft.

i ride the fortezza's and the volante se's. i love 'em both, but the se's last longer (and are cheaper)

Fortezza is Italian, I presume. Therefore: for-TAYTZ-zuh. With rolled r's, etc.

Vredestein is Dutch, and I don't know how to pronounce Dutch (or Flemish, which is essentially the same thing).
