What is your opinion of this tire? 700x21, 250 g, 300 tpi. I haven't found much information searching the web - just interested to hear from anybody who has used it. I just got a new Zipp disc and had one of these tires glued onto it. If nothing else it oughta mate perfectly to the disc rim profile.

Nobody rides these tires?

Anyway, the tread on these looks just like Vittorias - I wonder if they're just relabeled.

Am currently riding these tyres on my 808's. Are a fast tyre and feel great on the road whilst riding. Only negative is riding home from a race had to brake hard to avoid an accident with a idiot motorist and locked the rear wheel. Next day whilst looking to see if it flat spotted the tyre, I found it ripped 4 inches worth the rubber clean off and wore through the cotton layer below. So that tyre is now stuffed.

In regards to being rebadged vittorias, I have been told this too, but just bought some vittorias for next IM race and they have the same tread etc but are rated 4 bar more in pressure??

A few years ago, they were rebadged TUFO tires. I haven't looked at them lately.
