      Comments about Vittoria Adventure Reflective Tire - 26 x 1.75:

      I bought this tire about a year ago for my hard tail mountain bike, which I use to commute to work (in city, about 5 miles each way), ride paved and dirt bike paths, and occasional gravel/dirt trails.

      I'm not one to spend a lot of time changing my tires for the perfect ride in every situation, so I wanted something that leaned toward city riding but wouldn't punish me for playing in a little dirt. This tire fits that profile very well. It is smooth enough that it rolls great and feels wonderful on pavement, has enough tread that I'm comfortable in some gravel and dirt as long as it's not too steep, and is a big enough tire to handle curbs and potholes.

      If you pedal hard in dirt or gravel, this tire will spin out. The only time I wish I didn't have these tires on was trail riding in a park (nothing hardcore, just a dirt trail with some steep sections) and I spun out a lot trying to get up a hill. Even that wasn't worth looking for something different though for me.

      The channels also seem to work well in wet conditions, though coming from knobby tires I wasn't having a problem to start with.

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

      Why aren't all tires reflective?

      By SLC Tortfeasor

      Pros

      • Low Rolling Resistance

      Cons

        • Commuting

        Comments about Vittoria Adventure Reflective Tire - 26 x 1.75:

        These tires are just fantastic for commuters who ride mountain bikes.

        I can't figure out why all tires don't have reflective sidewalls like these. They really make a difference, because now instead of merely having reflectors on my bike frame, I've got these huge, reflective 26" circles, making me much more visible to drivers in low light.

        Additionally, you can pump them up to 70 psi, which is a little more than most mountain bike tires, leading to somewhat lower rolling resistance.

        If you're an urban commuter on a mountain bike, I think these tires are ideal.

        Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

          Comments about Vittoria Adventure Reflective Tire - 26 x 1.75:

          I was looking for a good tire for on the trainer and settled on this tire. Even though I have worked in a bike shop for three years, I had a tough time seating this tire. As I put the wheel (with the new tire) on the mountain bike, the tire came unseated and blew. I don't know if this was a defective tire or if they are all slightly too large for a rim, but the tire that I purchased is too large and is going back to REI.

            Great tire for commuting. Just the right combo of road tire manners with fat tire comfort. I was surprised how quiet and grippy these tires are on paved surfaces, and they perform well on crushed stone paths as well. After over 500 miles of commuting use this fall, you can barely tell these have been used. The reflective sidewalls also help since my ride home is in relative darkness.
