Puncture very easily. They are a misers choice of tire.
Don’t think I’ve ever had a Rubino puncture (not that I get many, most recently was a Michelin pro 4 endurance)

Or the choice of people who are not made of money...?
Until I got my state pension last year I was living on £5/day for food/drink/household products/travel and non-essentials such as tyres. Buying a pair of tyres that cost £20 more than cheaper ones could have required a 4-day fast!
Dipping briefly off topic (again!) - yes, thank you - I now have significantly more to spend on everything, including tyres! I have been stocking up on spare parts. Funnily enough, some of those spares have been cheap Vittoria tyres (Rubinos and Zaffiros). If they end up letting me down I would spend more now, but so far I have been pleased with them and haven't felt the need to spend more.Sorry to perhaps leave the main subject of tyres, but Colin thats almost 3rd world living, thank goodness for the pension, best wishes and hope every thing is much better now.

Got some old 23mm tyres you can have! What with 25/28mm more the norm nowadays they feel so sketchy!!
