Comments about Vittoria Zaffiro II Tire - 700 x 25:

I got the 700 x 23 on a new Bianchi Imola. This is my first road bike. The specs for a low price tire are good. I will probably trade up to a better tire in a few months.

Comments about Vittoria Zaffiro II Tire - 700 x 25:

Tried the 25s hoping for an inexpensive alternative to my skinnies for the iffy roads around my neighborhood. Not sure about the 23s but the 25s definitely add significant rolling resistance, and the weight doesn't help either. I'd be fine with that extra weight and width if it translated to a more durable tire, but around the 900 mile mark the rear tore a pretty sizeable hole. The front is still in better shape though. Not a bad option if you're on a budget, but don't expect a long life or good coasting.

Comments about Vittoria Zaffiro II Tire - 700 x 25:

These tires came on my Novara Strada. I wish they were 23 instead of 25. The extra width is more resistance than I need when trying to keep up with the faster members of my cycling club. After the first 900 miles, they seem to be pretty decent tires, but I have been surprised at the number of flats I have gotten, from seemingly small things (tiny wire, sharp rocks). I ride on a lot of roads with gravel, and am going through tubes faster than anticipated. Also, the rear tire seems to be wearing faster than I would have expected.

Comments about Vittoria Zaffiro II Tire - 700 x 25:

I am an avid but cyclist but still enjoy the occasional recreational ride with friends. These tires are very durable, roll smoothly and comfortably and are virtually puncture-proof. The only draw-back that I experienced was that the one time I did need to change out the tube I found that the tire bead was a really tight fit on the rim; I had to use a couple of tire tools to take them off and and on again...no biggie to me. I put a whole lot of miles on my first set and will continue to use them because of their dependability. All in all, these road bike tires are an EXCELLENT value!
