Vittoria Rally Tubular Road Tire

Inflated per manufacturer's specs. Two tires suffered blowouts from split sidewalls after less than 100 mile. Inexpensive but unreliable.

***Tires were under warranty, customer got a full refund*** Western Bike Works

I was able to use slime which has held up but the flat was during a tri.

I use these for weekly road trips.

New 2024 model has removable valve cores for those of us with deep dish tubulars. First off, lower your expectations: these are training sew ups with butyl tubes. Out of the package they�re lumpier than your grandmas favorite mash potato�s. But, stretch them properly at high pressure for a couple days & they mount up �relatively� straight. More than adequate for training tubs at this good price.

One star off since the valve stem area doesn�t sit flush & it�s bumpy even after rolling them on a broom handle.

Pro Tip: these are cotton sidewalls, buy liquid latex ($10) & brush it on after gluing. This will help seal the super wide basetape & sidewalls�perfect for waterproofing these training tubulars!

I have been riding these tires for several years mostly on Chicago streets.

they give a smooth lively feel and tolerate the city's bumps well. They are easy to work with, given a tubular classification. Out of eight purchases one was defective (the seam leaked) which bike direct replaced promptly. They tend to give me a season or two and wear down which leads to punctures. However their low price (slowly increasing) is the incentive.

My first attempt to mount tubulars was a disaster. On my first ride the rear went flat. On inspection I did not get the valve properly lined up and that is where the tire failed and it was not fixable. I considered buying another tire and installing with tape instead of glue but that would cost approx another $100. I surrendered. I should have taken the wheels and tires to a local bike shop for them to install.. THE TIRES WERE PERFECT, MY TECHNIQUE SUCKED,

I revived an older set of carbon tubular wheels and wanted a robust, but smooth, tire to go on them. So far I'm very pleased with these and would buy them again. I received them packaged well.

I just ride the local park paths, no city streets. Really like the Kevlar addition. Had some problems with flats with another brand. Nice smooth ride. Have been riding tubulars for over 40 years.

I don't compete. I don't need gear that makes feathers seem heavy. I don't try to impress anyone. I just ride.

For just riding, these tires are ideal. (The valve stems are ridiculously long, but why quibble.) The upper end of road tubulars make the tires on my Alfa Romeo seem cheap, so the Rallys are a reasonable option. Besides, they make my 50-year-old Frejus feel young again. Sort of. (They don't do anything for me; I still creak more than the bicycle, and my parts are much harder to grease and replace.)

good training tubular

Great tires , ride good , holds up great, looks good ??

So ,some of the reviews are mixed on these tires and I shall add to that. I used these tires for a local event ( Bike Virginia) of which I rode two separate days. A metric than a full century. Road conditions included, fresh paved, fresh milled, damp, dry, gravel, good climbs and bombing descents, old and worn out surfaces. The tires did great and the tread was unblemished. So for what I was looking for ( Value and durability ) these worked great. FYI I am 230 pounds so I can put a tire under stress.

Tires was used for push rims on Eagle Sport racing chairs.

An excellent training tire and serves its

purpose well. I recommend it to anyone looking for a training road tire.

I've been using the Vittoria Rally for years on all kinds of streets and bike paths. Given me great service.

I have been using Vittoria tubular tires for 50 years. Still have the same top quality and they hold up on the miserable pot holes in New Jersey. Tread wear is good considering the punishment I give them

While not a top end race tire, it has turned out to be a reliable and durable choice for my vintage bikes. Very happy with the product and will purchase again.

I bought two of these tires, both installed fine but on my second ride (100 total mi), rear tire flatted. The front lasted a little longer but only around 500mi before the next puncture, which was about weeks after. This tire seemed to start separating from the gluing surface, I'm actually not sure if it was a puncture, the product may have started leaking between the glue surface and the rubber, the rubber seemed to start fraying off the glue surface, shoddy craftsmanshipmaterials! In a nutshell you get what you pay for, these tires are more trouble than they're worth, look into a higher quality tire. I've since moved over to Tufo Jet Special, these tires show little wear after 2 months and are still rolling like champs.

I purchased two of these tires a couple of years ago, then got really sick and didn't get around to mounting them until last week. Was all excited to get back on the road and have the feel of tubulars beneath me when I discovered the front tire had gone flat....sitting on a hook in the garage. Two days later, the rear tire went flat. A little inspection showed that both had developed leaks around the valve stems, which, as others have noted, is basically irreparable. I've got older tires sitting in boxes that haven't come apart the way these did. The Rally seems affordable, but if it's not going to hold up sitting quietly, I can only imagine that it would leave me in a bind on the road. Definitely will not look at these again.

I was using this tire for training but these tires would cut and flat often. with a good tire, I can go for months without a flat. and to use these for spares is just asking for trouble. don't waste your time with these.
