Vittoria Open Pave Evo CG Clincher Tyre
Especially for those who cycle all year round, in every kind of road and weather conditions, including pavé and heavy rain, Vittoria decided to improve one of its most traditional models, the "CG", and raise it to the EVO level.

Outstanding tyres
Pros: Durable, Comfortable, Rugged, High Quality, Lightweight
Cons: Expensive
"These are brilliant tyres, very puncture resistant yet ride fast and light, they are beautifully made and despite the quite horrific price, are actually very good value for money. They are however more than a little sketchy when you first put them on, they need some miles on before they get to be as grippy as they are long term so be careful giving the bike too much lean on greasy roads for the first couple of rides. After this, though, they corner nearly as well as the Corsa Evo and are miles more puncture resistant. The only place to watch it, as it seems to be with all Vittoria tyres, is on the sidewalls, whilst the tread area seems to never puncture, the sidewalls are definitely where the problems arise. I would however still thoroughly recommend them, they are outstanding tyres. Love that green stripe too."

The tire for the cobbles
Pros: Durable, High Quality, Rugged
Cons: Expensive
"Just rode the 2010 Ronde Van Vlaanderen in super wet and muddy conditions. I ran these tires at 90 - 95PSI on DureAce carbon laminate clinchers. The sections of pave caused carnage amongst the field of 14,000 riders and I saw dozen upon dozen of punctures. These tires came through with not a scratch and provided perfect grip and no punctures in 152kms. If the conditions are really wet I recommend running these tires at 90PSI. I was suprised that I didn't see anyone else using these tires (until the Pro race on the Sunday). These tires are expensive but if you are looking at these tires then it is for a reason, if you are going to ride on really agressive road surfaces like cobble stones then these are the best, don't go to Belgium without them."

Ideal for our potholed roads
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, High Quality, Rugged
Cons: Expensive, Limited Color Choices, Poor Fit
"These tyres are quite astonishing. I'd never used Vittoria tyres before and wasn't aware of how effective their Open Corsa semi-tubular design is. I normally ride Vredstein Fortezza SLs which are light, have superb grip and accelerate and climb superbly but which are easily cut by flints and punctured by thorns. The roads following our freezing winter have been a mess, covered in flints and gravel and full of potholes and I got fed up fixing punctures in the dark so I bought a pair of these tyres.
The ride is so smooth and when combined with latex tubes they carry so much speed on broken tarmac that it feels like my bike has wings! The cornering confidence is in a different league to any other tyre I've tried (and I thought the Fortezza SLs were excellent) and they climb well, though with less snap than the Fortezzas. You can ride through pretty much anything and never feel at risk of losing control or puncturing.
The only downside is that they're a little heavy compared to a race tyre and that they're a nightmare to fit to my DT Swiss RR1450 wheels.
I will ride these for all of my training rides and probably try the CXs for my next Gran Fondo when weight will be more important on the long climbs."

Vittoria Open Pave Evo CG Tyres
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Great Value, High Quality, Rugged
"Maybe the best all-around tyre to train on year round - these are super durable, and very flat-resistant tyres, with the added benefit that they grip like crazy in the water and mud of winter riding. Impressive resistance to flatting, I've gotten around 1500-2000 miles of winter riding on these, and when taken off, they have many holes in the tread, but no flats. The tyre they ride Paris-Roubaix on - for a good reason. Compared the the Evo Corsa race tyres, these give up a small margin of responsiveness, and give back extra comfort over the rough stuff, plus the grip you want in the steep, wet descents. Wiggle's price means you don't have to settle for a second-tier tyre - they are a great value at this price."

Spring classics tire
Pros: Comfortable, High Quality, Lightweight
Cons: Limited Color Choices
"If you ride clinchers and race in spring classics then this is probably the best tire available. I'll use them, e.g. in the Tour of the Battenkill, which has a lot of off-road riding. They are reasonably light, very flexible/supple, a bit wider than normal and have a surface and tread better on loose and rocky surfaces than normal road race tires in wet or dry conditions. But they are far from extreme so they are also perfectly competitive in normal conditions where you'd use Open Corsa Evo CX or Veloflex Pavé."

Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Great Value, High Quality, Lightweight
"When you are parting with the think end of £40 a piece for a tyre you are a little concerned that the price tag is inflated by reputation and media hype alone and that the performance won't live up to your expectations. Vittoria's Open Pave tyres live up to their price tag in every way possible. Light, durable and supple, they inspire confidence in all weathers both in terms of grip, puncture protection and "rollability". Vittoria's reputation is widely preserved through making some of the best bike tyres on the planet. The Open Pave's not only uphold this reputation, they add to it. A definite must for any serious rider who has the itch to ride come rain, shine cobbles or just good old plain tarmac. Potholes beware, you have been warned!"

Live up to the hype in most ways
Pros: Attractive, Comfortable, High Quality, Lightweight
Cons: Expensive, Limited Color Choices, prone to cuts
"I've had these for 6 months now so it's time to report my findings. These are excellent quality tyres. They are claimed to be 24 mm wide, and this is confirmed by the fact that they're slightly wider than my Conti GP4000 23 mm tyres. The tread compound has small dimples all over it. These wear off over time in the centre section, but the side ones are still there. I imagine these would add grip in slushy/light mud conditions. I haven't ridden over serious pave, but I've done loads of commuting and training rides, wet and dry. The one negative is that they seem to be more prone to cuts than my 'reference' Conti GP4000s tyres. They weight is pretty good, at about 250-260 g each."

"This tyre is above average in every area. It's the tyre that you can train (including in the winter) do sportive and race on. I only change tyres when I'm cycling in the French mountains.
Be warned you will need thumbs of steel on the first installation as it is a tight fit but after it stretches it becomes easier."

Cons: 順応性のなさ
"普段は別メーカの23Cのレーシンググレードのタイヤを使用して7-8圧ぐらいで乗っています。
練習とロング用途にとこの商品を選択しました。
評価が低い理由は
・下り直線でブレーキ時にタイヤが滑るまでの限界が低かった。
・濡れた急勾配を登っていると何度も後輪が空回りした。
・使用１日目で地面に対して垂直に切れ目がはいった。
（環境による所が多いがこの切れ方はじめて）"

Best all round tyres
Pros: Durable, High Quality, Rugged, Lightweight, Versatile, Good Fit
"These are awesome - bought to commute when the slicks lost grip last winter these roll so well I put them on for a duathlon and got the fastest bike time of the day. Brilliant for all riding and I would only change back for smooth roads in the summer now."

"I LOVE THESE TYRES ... Solid, grippy, rugged, hardwearing ... I have never felt as confident on the bike as I do when these boots are on my wheels. Great tyre, I have ran these and the Corsa Evo and I haven't yet had a single puncture ... Amazing tyre. They do wear a little fast though."

winter tyres
Pros: Durable, High Quality, Versatile, Good Fit
"I have been getting lots of punctures on the last years winter tyres on the central London streets.
Read some reviews got these.
So far so good.
Nots so bad to get on.
You'll notice the difference to they tyres you have now.
Thick rubber, solid feel.
The suggested pressure is a challenge for my pump but they feel good and ride quite well

I thought they would be heavy going but they are as quick as the Swalbe I had on before.
Not sure about the green"

Confidence inspring
Pros: High Quality, Versatile
"Fitted these in time for some Autumn riding and first time out on wet roads, mulched leaves and they instantly inspired confidence. The slight increase in rolling resistance is totally compensated in volumes by the level of grip these give and the confidence they give you. Took them out for a wintery muddy country land 60 yesterday and they continue to do there job. Note sure you could want anything more from a winter tyre.
They are a pain to get on though. Haven't had a puncture yet and wonder if that will ever happen but if I do I reckon I'll be out in the cold for a bit, making sure I pack some mechanics rubber gloves!"

split after about 5 rides :-(
Pros: Attractive, Comfortable, Lightweight
Cons: Expensive, Low Quality
"Maybe I am just unlucky ?
The Tyre looks great and grips better than any other performance winter Tyre I have used straight out of the box and seemed pretty fast rolling. But on about my 5th ride on this Tyre & stone seems to have cut straight through the main tread leaving a 5+ mm split that bulges out when pumped up to pressure with a new inner tube. The Tyre is basically finished so at around £8 a ride I cannot really recommend this Tyre. Great shame as thought I had finally found a performance winter Tyre with reasonable durability."

Pros: Durable, Comfortable, High Quality, Lightweight, Versatile, Good Fit
"Excellent tyre for those that like to ride without worrying if you will get a puncture if they happen to ride on not so smooth roads.
I used to use these tyres in their tubular format and always found them to be robust, comfortable and hard wearing. The same applys to the clincher version."
