Do you remember which Vittoria tires you had? I've had great success commuting on Vittoria Randonneur Pro tires on my commuter bike, and only a goathead flat on my Vittoria Rubino Pro III tires on my road bike. While I've had good luck so far with Vittoria tires, if there is a model I should avoid, I want to avoid it.
