My favorite tires; we both approve this message:





They are decently hard-wearing, provide a supple ride and great bite when leaning hard into a corner. I've used both 23 and 25mm versions and the 25s are great on gravel, too. I've cut one here and there, but overall they aren't too prone to cuts in my experience. Plus they go up to 145psi; I normally run mine at 120 so it looks like I've lots of wiggle room. They go on and come off my rims relatively easily with or without tire levers.

Once I find something that works I tend to make the full conversion; today all my riders are wearing some version of Vittoria Open Corsa. Thanks to gomango for suggesting these in a thread a long, long time ago as new tires worthy of vintage rigs
