Wow I loved these tires at first! Smooth rolling, great grip in the corners and no flats. That is, until I had a complete failure of the rear casing after just 1000 miles. I ride mostly on chip-seal roads, which are quite harsh, especially right after the new tarmac is layed down, which was done in spring. Noticed a wobble on my ride yesterday, followed by a complete blowout. There's a hole the size of a quarter in the center of the rear tire where the casing has worn away. Toast. I guess I need a tougher, heavier tire.

Been riding on these for years. The tires are very durable and their ride is supple. Why pay more for tires that don't last or perform as good. They don't really square of like some tires wear and have been able to get a lot of mileage. They are good for at least a whole season of riding and more.

This tire is mounted on three of my bikes and to tell you truth folks this is a smooth riding tire, Great grip on wet or dry conditions, Very easy to mount!! Flat protection is also excellent! I moved over to this tire from gator skins as I wanted to run softer tires for smother ride and let me tell you these work for me as Im 166 lbs rider, I use 23mm and 25mm size tires depending on how far and rough the road is

I have use it for several years, it is tough and light, I train and race with it, I don't run any other tire.

I'm so happy with these tires. 1st time with the 25mm width and what a difference. Much smoother on the roads that I've used all the time. Highly recommend.

I have 2000 miles on these tires and think i should be able to get another 1000 from the back. I love i can run more than 120psi. As riding in pot hole city, I have got more pinch flats than punctures, i havent got a single one. They seem to get cut fairly easy make sure to wipe the tire if going through debris.
Review by jerrywildermuth
I like the ease on mounting the tire. The high psi rating. The price was nowhere else to be found. I have a couple of hundred miles on them and this is the tire I would absolutely recommend. I have used Vredestein tires many times. I do triathlons and road ride as well. Nothing else for me.

Picked these up on sale after a friend suggested them. I'm running these on my Cervelo P2C for training and racing and have no complaints at all. Two 70.3 races, 2 sprints, and 2 months of training and they are holding up great. 0 flats even though there is a lot of junk on the roads where I train. Will definitely buy these again.

Put it on - no issues, aired it up, let out most of the air and bounced the tire around (my method to make sure the tube is not pinched or creased somewhere inside the rim. Aired it up again. I have been riding it since without problems. I have ridden on wet and dry surfaces, all is good!

Been riding Vredestein Fortezza Tricomps for probably ten years. They are a great training and racing tires.
I love them because I like a high psi tire. They ride well, and wear well.
My first choice in tires by a long shot.

I have used this tyre as an all weather tyre and have had no issues or problems with it all. Very resistant to punctures i love the longevity and value for money. In my opinion its a great investment and performs better than many more expensive brands.
I loved the orange on orange color scheme even tbough its tough to find these days.

I am never disappointed with these tires. I use them on both my rainbike and race bike year round. For a clincher they will take a very high PSI. The rubber is also very responsive on cornering. Solid buy all the way around!
Review by Bret Orsag
These tires felt nice in the early miles but halfway through their expected life span the red color sidewalls started cracking and separating from the black of the tires all the way around horribly. I can't ride these anymore for fear of having a complete blowout on one or both while being 50 miles from home and breeding to hitch a ride home. Terrible purchase.
Review by Berkeley CA
Now have Vredestein tires on 3 bicycles. Pleased with smoothness, durability, appearance, and...no flats yet!

Soft tire, Easy to mount, Good rolling resistance, Although there is a minimum tire inflation of 100psi on the sidewall of the tire? I am a 170 pd rider and using 700x25c tire! Pretty comfortable 100psi!!

I like these tires. No flats with 500 miles on them. Smooth feel and corner nicely. Great value especially since I got them on sale. I will buy these again.
Review by Josh
Really like these tires. They ride best at the high end of the pressure range.
Review by Josh
Great tire. Excellent grip. Very nice ride. Great speed. Ride better at the higher end of the tire pressure spectrum.
