This is great year round tire it. It's light weight durable and good for any road conditions. I live in Pa. where the winters are brutal on the roads causing large pot holes. I used to use heavier tires in the winter. But these tires handle any conditions without flatting. I bike 8000 miles a year and have tried a lot of tires over the past 40 years and found that these are the best.

The tires perform great and handle really well except (big exception) that I've had 2 flat tires in my first 3 rides. Just started the process to try to get a replacement for what I hope is just a bad egg.

I've been training and racing on these this spring and I am completely satisfied with their performance. They aren't heavy nor are they too thin - they are an awesome balance that makes me at ease while racing on them.

Supple ride but not very robust

Used for commuting and casual road rides.

Supple ride (like a Michelin). Rolling resistance is high.

But worst of all, the tires are very flat prone. Compared to that Specialized Roubaix Elites that they replaced with no flats over several thousand miles, I have had two flats in 200 miles. Both goat-head caused flats.

Hopefully they will wear soon.

The rolling resistance is great and the puncture resistance is exceptional. I use Fortezza Tri-comp on my race bike for the same reasons.

I use this 25mm tire in all black for 40 to 60 mile rides on smooth to rough pavement and hilly back roads in Kentucky in rain or sunshine. They haven't slowed me down any since I replaced my Continental 4 seasons and have had no flats in the few hundred miles I've put on them. They handle just as well as the 4 seasons. The tread seems to be holding up well too. I can't tell you how long they will last, but for the price, ride quality, and handling I believe they are an excellent value. I like the subtle styling of the white text on the sidewall too.

These tires are in a category with only three others in my opionion. Vittoria Open Corsa, and Schwalbe Ultremo V-GuardOne. They have low rolling resistance, smooth casing construction for rough road assistance, very true to size, good weight, and the most puncture resistant tire in this group!

Love the feel on the road. Nice cornering even in

wet conditions. Got them on sale which really increases the value per cost ratio. Over 3000 miles and not one flat. This tire comes highly recommended.

Long lasting tire that provides an above average air pressure option

I have been using Vredestein Fortezza tires for 10 years on my Seven Axiom SL titanium road bike. They provide a wide range of tire pressure to suit the day and circumstance, lower pressure for easy days when buttery comfort is desirable, higher pressure when riding fast in club pacelines . I rarely have flats, and am confident of handling in either dry or wet conditions. They typically last four to five thousand miles which is my annual mileage.

I am a frequent rider and a heavier rider. Have been using these tires for a few years. The seem to hold up well Never had a flat. But my concern is that the red part of tire cracks very early in the life of the tire. Makes them look like they are going to fail on my next ride. I guess I keep tempting fate, but they have held up!
