One is a similar report:
Aug 01, 2012
This tire (the Vittoria) lasted about a month and a half maybe 500 miles. Rear tire eventually sliced open (1 inch or so) without my hitting anything significant. Examining the tire there were slices all over the tire (never saw this on the Tioga's running the same route). Front tire is also already squaring off. Tire grips nicely in both good weather and wet I like the high pressure and weight. But with a durability issue like this I won't buy them again. Suggest avoiding them.
An explanation could be a bad production batch.

need an info - is there anything available that's not made in Taiwan, or Asia. had 100% miserable experience with a few tire brands made overseas and 100% success with the same tires made in Europe.
last case is almost catastrophic failure with Vittoria Rubino Pro made in Taiwan...luckily removed the front one after found serious cracks...
cheers
Just shows.
I have had similar experiences with made in china/asia... for a remarkable variety of products.
They discovered people start to know, and use some tricks to disguise without breaking laws.
For ex, shoes, on the insole, heel, big text high contrast color with insole, Designed in Germany. Or in France. Or even in the city Paris (not a country haha).
Noticed it? "Designed in..." Not "Made in".
But to meet laws, production country has to be put on it. So what did they do: they put it in fine silver text on the lightbrown of the fabric of the inner, under the tip, only visible when holding the shoe under an sharp angle while looking alike the viewer suspects a rat hids there.
Also, "quality control or QC <number>" serves also as a red flag for rubbish.
