Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Dumb tubular question

Is there a major difference between the Vittoria Evo Corsa CX and KX that worth to return back to PBK ?
I ordered the CX and got the KX instead and looking at the Vittoria web-site. One of the difference is a "better" handling of KX in raining condition. I don't plan to bike in the rain.

Any suggestions ? PBK just listed the 2-pack combo in CX for a even lower price.

I'd return it and ask for the tires/tyres that you ordered.

Incidentally, can you link the 2-pack combo for me? I don't see it on the site, thanks.

KX's are softer. They wear quickly but are super sticky in corners.
