I have no idea how good the Vittorias are in comparison to other good 32mm tires, but I have to say, it's not hard to be faster, cushier and better handling than Armadillos. They are about the worst tires in every respect but one (i.e., flat resistance) ever made. A real comparison would be Vittoria Randonneur Hypers vs the Grand Bois Cypres. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
