Corsa N.Ext Tube-Type

I have been very happy with the performance of this tire. I’m am disappointed, though, in its longevity. It seems to develop cracks and slicing early and more often than other tires I have used, including other Vittoria tires.

Bought these as the replacement for Corsa Graphene 2.0. Was concerned that they would be as difficult to install on my deep rims as the Grahene’s were, but I was pleasantly surprised at how easy these tires went on. Thanks Vittoria for making this welcome change. Dont know what you did, but it’s a pleasure to install these and change a flat now. As for performance, rolling resistance and all of those stats…I dont know enough and I dont care. They’re tires that I was able to get a nice discount on; they will wear out & have to be replaced and I’m not a professional racer. So they work for me and I’m sure they will work for 98% of the cyclists out there. I like them and bought 5 more. They do get cuts from road garbage just like any other tire. (I bought more tires so they are asking me for another review).

These tires are providing best ride and confidence. In the twisty, steep and often rough Blue Ridge Mtn roads. The tire profile allows to upsize. (34mm is equal to Conti 5000 32) but with greater flex in tread on hard fast descents. The tread seems to allow the casing to flex keeping a larger contact patch, reducing bike chatter on rough roads. I now have these on all my road bikes.

I’ve been using Vittoria tires since they were OEM on one of my Cannondale bikes. Always liked them but the Corse G2.0’s were nearly impossible to get on my carbon fiber rims without 2 sets of hands. These new N.EXT tires are so much easier to work with. I was amazed at how quick I was able to install them. They are too new for me to give any usage or mileage review until they have to be replaced, but for now, I’m happy to have them (esp with a 35% discount) and ordered 5 more for my 2 bikes.
