VittoriaRubino Pro G+ Road Tire(Return to Product Page)

I'm a casual cyclist who occasionally rides short distances. These tires were a replacement for the original tires, and the bike was purchased in 2012. Therefore, keep that in mind while reading my review. I've only put about 40 miles on these tires, but so far really like them. I like the tread design, and they are faster than my old tires. Also, they were easy to install. I usually ride on the shoulder of a main road, and occasionally encounter glass and other road debris. So far, I'm completely satisfied with this tire.

Bought a set of 30mm for my commuter bike. These tires give a lot of confidence with the ride and traction they provide. I got about 500 miles on them before I got my first flat - a large thorn punctured right through the middle band of the tire. I never experienced anything like that with my previous continental gp all seasons, so I'm faced with a trade off. I will continue to ride the Pro G until the next flat, then it's back to the Contis. Will see if I was just really unlucky or if the durability of these tires is overstated.

Excellent supple, smooth roll. great grip and very stable on the downhills.

Vittoria tires are the best.... Plenty of miles & never had a flat. Reliable & fast rolling

These VITTORIA RUBINO PRO G+ ROAD TIREs seem pretty tough so far. Other than the tubes I destroyed trying to get the tires on the rims, I have had no flats since (knock, knock). As I said elsewhere, they are a really challenge to mount on the rims

I hope all the positive reviews are true about these tires, because the are very difficult to mount. I have the 700/23 tires to replace the originals on my Specialized Tarmac. Had at least five flats on the originals, so have changed tubes quite a bit. These Vittoria Rubinos were MUCH harder to get onto the rims; spoiled a tube each on the front and rear when trying to do so

Somehow my tire box always has a pair of Rubinos in it, so I always throw them on my training bike when I just need a reliable tire. The old Rubinos were plenty good at that, but they were always underwhelming as far as ride quality and traction went. The new G model definitely feels more supple without feeling any less durable, so now I can thrash them around on long rides on dirty roads without my bike feeling quite as harsh.

pI have been riding these tires for a few months, on terrain ranging from smooth racetracks at the races to long gravel climbs and loose descents out in the hills, and in pouring rainhttpswww.westernbikeworks.comimagessubmit-review-button.gif to unseasonably hot sun, and they have been confidence inspiring the whole time. I have not found a tire up until this point that has allowed such a variety of use while still feeling up to the job in each situation. I'm not sure if it's the Graphene technology or what, but these tires are noticeably a step above the last generation of rubber from the likes of Michelin and Continental. Would definitely recommend these to anyone riding road bikes to their fullest capability.p

I could feel the these tries rolling fast than the stock tires I had on. Love them, smooth, fast tires

the tire went on easy,it fit well, and road great

I use this tire on my road bike. I love the tire and have no complaints.

Nice tire but claimed weight of 245 for the 28mm is way off, my pair weighed 270 and 269, that's an extra ounce of rolling weight per wheel

I'm an endurance cyclist and puts on some long mileage so I need a dependable tire that will get me up the mountain climbs and handle the back roads out in the forest roads, the Rubino has served me very well and I am extremely happy with it!

I have been using Rubino Pro for years. They last me about 3,500 to 4,000 miles, unless I was lucky enough to hit a large nail just right. I used to get the orange and black and now get the red and black.

Nice combo of puncture protection and rolling resistance for a training tire. Nice price too.

Was sad the Paves are not made anymore. These are just as good, maybe better. Roll smoothly, hug the road, great in turns.

Perfect for my Raleigh bike, smother ride, no roll resistance.

Have used Rubino Pro III 28c in the past and loved them. Very few, if any cuts in the tire and no punctures over thousands of miles on 3 road and 2 adventure bikes. We ride pavement, gravel, and dirt. The PRO G tire does not feel quite as supple after approx. 500 miles but it is a minor difference. Handling, speed, and control feel the same.

I have been able to ride these tires on a few rides now, and I am super impressed. The roll well, have excellent grip, and do a great job at flat prevention. I have ridden them in the rain and have found they do excellent there as well. I have done long gravel descents with out any issues, and I have done full speed curvy descents with confidence all while enjoying a surprisingly supple ride for a training clincher tire. This is a great all around tire and would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a fast, grippy, and reliable tire.

For the last few years, I've ridden hi-end Contis, Michelins and Pirellis which are very good tires, but cost up to $80 each. And they wear fast - and get flats. in fairness, all tires do...

These are very, very close to the others in cornering and braking, and good in the rain. And best of all, I have yet to get a flat in 4,000 miles, plus they are wearing very well too. Not getting flats makes them faster than the tires which claim a 5w faster rating. g
