VittoriaCorsa Control G2.0 Road Tire(Return to Product Page)

These tires are a PITA to mount and tend to pick up tiny thorns here in Phoenix. But they are, hands down, the best I've ever ridden - and I have been through Panaracer, Schwalbe, and other Corsa types. Gorgeous grip, quiet, comfortable on bad blacktop and curb, and a magic carpet on smooth surfaces, and no squirm or loss of grip at the limit - my pedals grind first. Just get them and go riding!

These may be great performing tires, but they are the most difficult tires I've ever tried to mount. I'm trying to mount them on my HED Ardennes Black rims, and it has been frustrating. After destroying 1 tube, I finally got the front mounted, but I cannot mount the rear one. I spent over two hours and destroyed 2 more tubes. These would be absolutely impossible in a roadside repair situation. I've been riding for many years, mounting and changing many, many tires for myself and friends. I do both clincher & tubeless without problems, but these are impossible. I'm not willing to risk riding these on the road, assuming I can get the rear one mounted. Probably sell these at the next swap meet & buy something that I can actually mount.

These tires are an excellent balance between suppleness and durability.

I replaced my Conti 4000s with these tires. They were recommended by a fellow cyclist. They went on my Roval rims easily. I have done about 700 miles on them. They ride smoothly. No flats (knock on wood). I like the tan sidewalls too. They are now my go to tire. Thanks Paul for the advice.

Great smooth reliable tire, still no flats at 1 thousand mile mark so far so good. This will definitely be my go to tire !

Formerly competitive in MB and CX. These tires pair well with my custom AR bike on mixed surfaces--pavement, hardpack trail and light gravel, often in the course of a single ride.

I needed a tire, and was waiting for Conti GP 5000 to be restocked. After several weeks of them being deferred I decided to take a chance on something new, and settled on these after reading reviews of several different tires. Some 500 miles later I am a big fan. No flats, no perceptible wear, very supple and smooth ride, and the tires feel incredibly secure on the road. I am riding 700x30 at 85 psi rear, and am 175 lbs.

I use these tires with latex tubes and I cannot imagine a more comfortable ride. Highly durable and no major issues with them since their release. Highly recommend.

Running these on a Hampsten with HED Belgium+ rims. The 700x30 size lets me drop down to 60psi front/70psi rear for very comfortable riding on bad pavement and occasional forays off the road itself. Grippy, roll smooth, not TOO terrible to get onto wide rims.

These tires are very supple and pretty tough. We have miles of paved roads in Wisconsin that are in poor condition. I wanted a tire to handle these roads as well as gravel and fire roads. I am not running these tubeless and have had zero flats in 600 miles. These tires measure out right at their stated width and are mounted on a Trek Domane SL5. I weigh 200 lbs and am able to run 55-60psi without issue. Great tire!

I'm 200lbs. I run 28mm at 65 PSI. MONEY.

I'm using these in 30mm's on my Specialized Diverge. I really like them. They feel very light and I like the security of having wider tires on rough roads.

These tires replace Vittoria's Open Pave CG series, of which I was a huge fan in both the 25mm and 27mm iterations. The Open Pave's struck a great balance between race profile vs daily commuteoccasional-trail durability. In the four seasons I had ridden them, I routinely rode off 2500km on a pair, and only ever had one puncture (of which I am guilty for letting my rear get too bald).

The biggest change in these new Corsa Control's (besides the adoption of industry standard 28mm gauge), is the switch to a linear tread profile in the middle section of the tire, whereas the Open Pave's adopted a nubby texture. I can see the linear tread improving the tire's ability to weep away rain, whilst on either side of the center there are two pairs of diagonal treads (sort of broken into arrows) that provide grip in the corners.

I've only ridden these in the Minnesota summer so far on roads, but the 28 clinchers feel a touch more supple than the old Open Pave 27s. This is likely due to the recommended pressure being dialed down to 87 psi max (I used to ride the Open Pave 27s at 100psi). In a 25 profile, Vittoria say the Corsa Controls can handle higher pressures (up to 145 psi).

Mounting and fit are great on my DT Swiss PR 1400s. They clear my Dura-Ace 9100s fine, with about 3-4mm space on each side of the calipers. TIP the rotation direction is not printed on the tire where the main label is, but on another spot molded into the sidewall. Find this to mount the tires correctly.

The Vittoria Corsa G was the best tire by a wide margin in my opinion to any other cotton tire I have had the chance to ride. The Corsa 2.0 is a marginal upgrade to its predecessor. I have no data driven evidence of this marginal gain other than a personal road feel and confidence turning aggressively into a corner. I run 28mm at 75 to 80psi

I have had one set for 2 years and bought them again. These are great tires. Lightweight, good sticking to surface, fast, and durable. Best for overall biking on not always perfect pavement.

Good on paved and dirt roads. Offers a decent balance between being light yet durable while providing a comfortable feeling ride.
