No other issues at all. I love the rolling resistance, grip and feel of the tires. (And get a kick from seeing the rediscovery of ribbed tread tires. I rode a lot of very good cotton ribbed thread sewups. I loved that tread. It disappeared for 30 years. It's as good as I remembered.

Edit: I am wondering if Vittoria has had some manufacturing issues with these tires and has bee on o a learning curve. The OP bought his tires 3-4 months before I did and our experiences were very different. Being expensive tires, some of the later purchases of posters on this thread may well have been tires sitting around the shop for 9 months and therefore early tires from Vittoria.
