VittoriaZaffiro II Wire Bead 700c Road Tire(Return to Product Page)

This tire replaced an OEM tire. Smooth riding and low resistance. Only draw back is it is a stiff tire and takes some effort to install. Otherwise perfect. It is a great value.

This is a good deal!!!! Cheapest on all the site that im looking for. On the 25mm wired its a little heavy. Race it downhill on a 45mph and dont be afraid on all corners coz its grip realy good.

I have about 1000 miles on the set w/no flats. Good tire for winter training, but a little harsh on the road feel. Looks like I will get 2000-2500 miles out of them, which is great for the rough roads I ride.

Replacing the exact same tires with 5000 miles on them.

We have some coarse chip-and-seal county roads here and these Vittorias help a lot. Installed very easily. Seem like a very good tire at a steal of a price. Recommended

I have used the Zaffiros as training tires and they work very well. They wear long,are puncture resistant, and are very grippy.

I got a pair of these for my neighbor who has been wanting to get into commuting by bike. He was running 23mm road tires and I was able to get these in a 25mm width that still fit within his rear stays (28mm tires just wouldn't fit). He hasn't had any flats in over a month of commuting 22 miles round trip several days a week and he says the added volume is nice on the surface streets.

Original equipment on my Felt Z85, they lasted over 5,000 towncounty road miles in SE Wisconsin. So purchased as replacements - no need to try something else.

I am a rec rider at about 180lbs, and this one rolls fine and corners ok for training and fitness riding that I do in the midwest. Mounted with no trouble, it is a correct sized 700 x 25 as my last set of the same size was smaller.

I am not your typical rider this tire will be used to for conditioning pourposes as I tow my child in the burley buggy

I had continentals before these tires and I am quite pleased

Solid basic tire, great for commuting or as a less expensive training tire for long miles and winter days. Good grip in the wet, wear well.

Used this as part of a vintage 10-speed rebuild. After about 100 miles, this tire has performed flawlessly. Smooth rolling, no puncture flats. Great value

I bought these tires for my first flat bar rodie. I originally had some KENDA KRITERIUM 700 X 23 but those were a bit too narrow. As I am using this bike for commuting I didn't find it to safe for me yet. As I've heard 700 X 25 provide a better stability at least better control. Can't say much anything else but tires feel very smooth and no loss of control either. Thru the bumps and tears on the street the tire had pretty good rolling resistance. Will provide status after at least the first hundred miles or so.

These tires are not the greatest, but they're far from the worst. At $13, to get anything made by Vittoria is a steal. Traction is great on dry pavement and decent on wet pavement. I feel confident riding these in any weather.

Punish me later, I don't rotate my tires so my front is still going, but I got just about 3000 miles in on my rear tire. I ride a mix of smooth and decaying asphalt roads with the ever-increasingly usual beer bottle remains in our bike paths. I do use a tire liner so although a few of those chips have cut the tires I have had no flats and no blow-outs. Even with one long slice no cross face tears. I bought at the sale price but even if I bought regular price it would be a durable value.

Vittoria has always been a solid standby for me. All of their tires are a great value. I mostly roll on Specialized Armadillos and pump to max psi every time I ride. These tend to pick up more debris and get flat easier...still not as much as a Continental Ultra Sport.

I have the Zaffiro in a 28mm for my commuter -an older Schwinn la Tour- they look quite nice matching the tube shape in profile. They ride very comfortably and though not fast they have a good smooth feel on the road and not terribly slow. Over all good contact rolling and cornering, the tread seems adequate and casing durable. I've only had them on for a month but feel confident that they will be a long lasting tire as I'm running Vittoria's Rubino 23mm on my racetrain bike and they are just showing wear at well over 2K miles. I have become a fan of Vittorias price value, ride quality, and longevity.

I've had two or three sets, 25s and 28s, and hardly a flat. Wore the tires out on the rims. Especially at the price, and obviously if you are not expecting that pricey tire ride, these are a great value.

For the price I can't imagine you would find a better tire. I was running 23's before, some cheap chinese brand, which cost the same as these zaffiros. These just smooth out the bumps and I even skidded a few times with the tire and I do not see any marks whatsoever. Excellent set of tires for the money.

I've put over 600 miles on paved trails (wooded with debris) so far and they're doing well. Probably not the best fit for my road bike, but they're more than adequate to endure my almost daily use. While the tire price was reasonable, the freight charge and delivery time (which was what I typically experience for free with Amazon) left me wondering if the overall value wasn't so hot.
