I bought a pair of vittoria rubinos for 24$ online and the tires don't seem to match up to the ones on the picture. I was wondering if I was sold a lower model of tire? Based on the labels, no kevlar, blah blah.

They did send me alloy toe clips instead of steel ones. Any idea on what model rubino this is?

I ordered them off king kog, I was grabbing a pair of mks pedals/clips and they had the tire I wanted so I thought why not. Any ideas?

from what I have been told, they are the same - you have the most recent models/version (same ones I do). I really like the Rubino tire and was turned on to them about a year ago. Haven't considered anything different since.

catalog download here - check page 21 I believe for the composition of the tire

Sweet, thanks.

I hadn't seem them like that anywhere and was nervous.


If only the cliips were steel. Let's see how quickly I break them.

new logo....same tire

i like the old logo.. looks jazzier, i got the new logo to, excel sports?

Ohhh, the new logo is sweet. I never liked the flashy mile-long crazyness anyway. Can't wait for when mine wear out some time next year so I can buy new ones...

Well just looking at the tire I don't think it is the same.
The thread looks a little different and the tire feels flimsier.
Also, the rubber has a different feel to it. I use to like the old rubinos a lot but I heard many complaints about the new ones. I still need to try them myself though.

What the.. the silver lable is the old ones. The flashy ones are new.
