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...

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.
