Vittoria Randonneur's have plenty of happy users, just jog on over to Bike Forums.
I for one don't take much stock in price in a indicator of a tires quality. These days there is no clear indication of what is, and what is not a quality tire. I read plenty of dissatisfied Schwalbe and Continental users. The thing is, there's infinite variables when it comes to someone's opinion of a tire. The human phenomena of monkey-see.... monkey-copy makes reviewing things rather comical. I'd try the Randonneur's in a heartbeat and not worry about opinions. Hey, you can buy 3 of these for the price of many Schwalbe's! I myself can't see spending $65 on a bike tire. My Michelin truck tires cost about $80 when I last bought them, as a comparison. I've had a great ride with Performance Forte Metro-K 35mm tires.... about $14 each. There's another 35mm tire they sell(the Gotham), made by Panaracer, who sells the same thing,minus the reflective strip. It's called the Crosstown. Performance sells it for $12.... other places sell the Crosstown for more than double that. So, I don't put much stock anymore in "more expensive" = a better tire. Retail is like a giant shell game..... sell it for what you can and hope you can keep the game going :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
