Help - Vittoria Zaffiro Clincher Tyre

[AlickB]

Depends how's you ride, but generally hard wearing means not a lot of grip, especially in the wet.

I second this, my ride came with these supplied, and were not great in the wet, also seemed to get a lot of punctures with them.

Tyres arrived today. They have a better PSI range than the ones that cam with the bike (100 - 140psi) and seem a little more solid. I will be test riding them tomorrow so will let you know how they hold up.

I'm running them at 120psi and they are fantastic. They held up well on wet hills and are amazing in dry conditions.

If you think zaffiro are amazing then you should try the Diamante.
Obviously more expensive but much better quality. Grips the road like an f1 car.

Think I would need to get faster to justify them. Do they come in Yellow?

I had Zaffiros on my Bianchi when it arrived. 1500 miles without a p*ncture. I run them always at 120psi. Changed to Conti Gatorskins and was staggered at how much easier they roll than the Zaffiros. Added over 1mph to my usual average.

However....got two p*nctures in a week on the Gatorskins but I'm happy to trade better rolling resistance for having to change the odd tube which in truth doesn't take long anyway.

Cheers for that. I will wait until I "need" new tyres and then see the difference. The the moment I can only compare them to MTB road tyres and the unbranded ones that came with the bike. (They were supposed to be Kenda be were not)
