VittoriaZaffiro Pro Home Trainer 700c(Return to Product Page)

I ride my wind trainer (I know old school, but it still works and the sound precludes interuptions) at least three times a week. The tire has held up well and looks like it belongs on the back end of my training bike. Installation was easy, arthritis in my wrists makes Continental tires a pain to get on and off the rim. The bead was more relaxed on this tire, two thumbs up for Vittoria. I would suggest deflating after you ride. My previous Conti tire developed wear from being left inflated and resting on the roller. After the loss of the second tube a check of the casing showed wear marks in a few places that were rubbing the inner tube causing flats.

My only complaint with riding on the rollers was the high-pitched noise. It turns out the noise was from my good tires on the rollers. These fixed that. No more noise so I can ride the rollers any time and quietly.

No grip allows a smooth performance on my trainer.

I mounted it on a training wheel that I swap for my regular wheel and tire when I go on the trainer. Highly resistant to heat and wear at a very good price.

I have about 200 miles on these tires, excellent so far)

It does exactly what its supposed to do- less noise, less heat, a better training experience.

I have used the same tire for the past three winters on my Kurt Kinetic in training for the upcoming season. I have put tons of miles on it and it's still going strong. I highly recommend it.

For use solely on a trainer but well worth it. It saves your regular tires and is much quieter.

Works and is like it is described

I've used this tire - Vittoria Zaffiro Pro Home Trainer- with my TACX trainer and so far no issues. You do need to ensure your tire pressure as well as the pressure applied to the roller is spot on otherwise you'll slip, increase wear, etc. It takes a few times to figure this out. I keep my tire 100psi.

I put this tire on a old wheel I have and when I ride on my trainer I use this instead of my tire that I usually have on the bike. There is no rubber shedding of the tire or the rubber smell that you usually get when riding on trainers.

I use this on my road bike mounted to a TACX trainer. It has lasted longer than similar other products. I generally do not use Vittoria products on my bicycle, but this training tire seems to be the most durable on the market.

I have used the same tire for the past two winters and have logged a lot of miles on it. The rubber is wearing down, but I could easily get another winter out of it (and probably more if I want to wear it down to nothing). I haven't had any problems at all.
