Today I had a war with a pair of Vittoria Zaffiro tyres. I bought those cheap and colorful tyres and couldn't fit them onto my rims. I tried 90 minutes and broke two new tubes while fitting them on. Then I gave up.
Over the years I've been using Michelin's tyres and tubes, and I never had trouble when fitting them on. This time, I decided to get some Vittoria rubbers, and it was my worst decision made in 2013.
