@maxim809,

I'm interested in the 32/34mm versions of these as the listed weights on the Vittoria website are impressive.
240g for a 34mm tyre which is supposed to be quite robust is really quite light. A 32mm GP 4 Season which is another tyre I've been considering is 100g heavier.

I'd be doing all weather commuting with them and pairing with some TPU tubes I have lying around.

This was a driving factor to try them out tbh and the wet weather grip.

Got some verniers

Got a new set from work so will do over the weekend.

Very interested. Have some new wheels coming from farsports with 24int/30ext measurement. These in the tube type look to be ideal for value and what they offer. Question is, 28 or 30mm with the wider internal rims I will soon have. Hmm!

Edit: Some further research unearthed an interesting chart from an Amazon listing, which I then found on Vittoria's website via Google: https://www.vittoriajapan.co.jp/cms/wp- ... BILITY.png

It will be interesting to see if your measurements match the precise 28mm Vittoria states. Interestingly, 28mm should be my ideal choice as well on 24mm rim based on the chart, but I could go anywhere up from there. Maybe 28mm front/30mm rear. Never done the assymetric thing before!

I'm curious, you're buying a new wheelset with presumably deep carbon rims, for performance and aero... Why would you want to run average performing mid-range training tyres on them?

TBH that's a fair question but I don't think it's fair to label these a training tyre, really. But on looking thus far, they're quite well reviewed even on BRR and I am not a racer. Currently they are about 30-40% or so cheaper than competitor tyres in my area. GP5000 (tube type) is one obvious alternative to consider.

I have a set of standard 28mm Rubino's that came with my current bike, and a spare set of 32mm Pirelli P7s, so tbh just about anything would be an improvement. I might even start with the Rubinos just to run some more life through them while waiting for a better price on some new tyres (and allow time for my bank account to recover, lol).

[MrCurrieinahurry]

Mounted easily look/feel great will test out next weekend.

Inflated at 80psi for reference last photo is a gp5000 25c tyre.

Weights for the pairs were
223g
217g

Nice! So 28mm, 19mm ID rim, first install at 80psi is roughly 27.3mm.

Be interesting to see if they stretch out and hit 28mm (they are likely to).

Hard to tell from the pics but what's the shape like? Sidewalls vertical or lightbulbish?

[MrCurrieinahurry]

These help ya mate

Sure does

Looks on the thinner side. Be interesting to know how a 30 and 32 shape up in comparison. I'm tempted to try 32's. Also have 19mm ID rims.

It'd be so helpful if all manufacturers show WAM and RAM on different ID rims like Pirelli does on their packaging.

[CampagYOLO]

Just installed some 32mm's on 19mm rims. They currently measure at 30.5mm but unridden so will probably end up around 31mm.

Using TPU tubes rated to 32mm so was being careful by buying the 32mm tyres but wish I got the 34mm ones now.

It's on my commuter gravel bike with shallow rims so the wider the better TBH.

[MrCurrieinahurry]

Happy to measure them up again after a few weeks although that bikes only ridden max couple times a week.

I never gave my final experiences on this tire yet.

Here's the thing, while I love Vittoria tires and the brand, the NEXT tube type is a big miss from them. During its lifecycle (I come back on that one, bear with me) the tire remained below the advertised 28mm and never came even further than 26.45mm actually.

Now in my opening post, I mentioned the tire weight was 220 gram. Well that definitely impacted the lifecycle, since after 1.700km or 1.000 mile-ish I started to see the canvas through the rubber tread. The tire was done.

It is a shame, the ride characteristics of this tire are great. It is fast and I did not suffer from any punctures. But undersized and a very low durability made me going back to the original again. I hope Vittoria will solve this, because I have seen more reviews with the same issues.
