That Vittoria Stink
 

Bought my first Vittoria tire (Rubino Pro) the other day, now my entire house reeks! Do they add skunk musk and corpse to the rubber ? Does the smell ever go away? I always wondered what made Trackstar stink so bad...

uhhhhh... ????

my ride's been rockin' rubinos for like 2 months now.. and it usually sleeps in my room.. and i've never smelled a damn thing..

I manhandled my new Rubinos a fair bit when I got them... no memory of any unusual stink. Maybe it's you, not the tyres? :p

I have them on my road bikes, plus a couple of spare/old sets - never noticed any pong; sounds like you've picked up some dog-poo…

I destroyed Rubinos under three weeks. Not a fan. I'm at two months on Tservs.

Oh yeah, and I remember them smelling better than Tservs actually.

Tservs?

Tires aren't designed to be skidded.

Did you have the wire bead Rubinos or something? Because I skid a lot and mine hold up pretty damn well.

I've had several different models of Vittorias and never noticed an odor.......
