Vittoria Terreno dry after 1,260klms

I've put over 1,200klms on my Vittoria Terreno Dry's. Here's what I think.

tire wear like that is common, the rubber compound on most performance tires is soft to afford better grip, the flip side is that it also abrades more easily. This tire is advertised as a fast rolling race tire for mountain bike applications or gravel riding and therefore there are trade-offs between grip and durability built into the design for the crowd this is being marketed to. The tire pressure you run and the type of surfaces you ride on will have a big impact on how quickly and evenly the tires wear. The rear tire always wears more quickly because it has the brunt of the body weight and does the "driving". If you had run these at lower pressure or used them more frequently on softer terrain you would likely have seen a more uniform wear. If you want a tire that will last for more miles, especially on pavement, aim for something designed for the e-bike or commuter crowd. Tires like the ThickSlick use a much harder rubber compound that you can really put the miles on - just don't expect them to stick as well - a factor that may not be important for your riding style. (ps. thanks for the video, I search videos like this because it is nice to see a product in its "real" environment rather than company stock photos and I appreciate that you took the time and effort to put this together and share it)

Does protection tape decrease such tires fast rolling ?

[@user-zy2wk3nr7d]

Отвечаешь?

[@dongbagamasbad]

Heavier at the rear. I switch them with the front at several intervals.

[@Tempiobru]

I believe it's quite normal the rear tyres wears out faster. Think that the rear tyre is constantly under wear and tear, also the weight of the rider, braking with wheel skidding and also in corners the tyre suffers more than a front tyre. Since it had this thin like fish scale tread it wears out faster, but the advantage is having a very fast MTB tyre to ride which is priceless. In your case you need to get a new rear tyre😁

What tire pressure you are using? My Terreno dry tyres looks way better after 2000km

[@captain1664]

I run the specialised Pathfinder Pro and have 1000s of km on them and they still look like new. They roll great on the road and have performed great on a wide range of off road surfaces. They are 42mm wide and I run them tubeless. I hope to get a set of the same but the SWorks version when these are eventually done.

[@danielrussell9416]

This is normal. You have more weight on the rear tire, that's why it wears faster. This is why you rotate tires front to back as the rear tire starts to wear.

[@bootsauce47]

I had a bike stock with those tires. And had the same problems. I also found them draggy on pavement. I also have mescall lll shod on another bike they’re great in dirt draggy on pavement too. On a positive note Vittoria are a comfortable tire when set up tubeless and blow up bigger than stated.

[@seederiektdg8492]

I got these tyres a few weeks ago and noticed the same. Not uncommon, but lowering the pressure on the rear is seeming to improve both wear and comfort. What pressure were you riding?

[@kennaef7046]

Sawtooth is a great tire. Try swapping f+r tires once the rear starts showing some wear for added mileage.

[@kinalg]

You always want to have better grip tire in front wheel. Swap is not a good option.

[@bobrichter3059]

Any tire with a low knob height will wear out quickly. Especially tires designed for performance. They are meant more for racing and not for everyday use. I have a pair of Terreno Dry on my race wheels and love the low rolling resistance, grip, and corning ability. Huge difference over my training wheels with Schwalbe tires. Thanks for the follow-up video, good to know that they won't last long.

[@thecrowfliescrooked]

Ps I'm still rolling on them. I just swapped front and back.

[@prostcj]

I don't get flats.....the rear has a pinch flat 😆. Tubeless set up is super easy on most gravel tires. I was able to seat the Terreno drys with a quick shot from an air compressor.

[@kinalg]

It's a huge different between Vittoria Terreno dry (20 TPI) and Vittoria Terreno dry g2.0 (120 TPI). Firstly I want to buy just a Vittoria Terreno dry, but then I realised that is (a kind of/IMHO) demo tire.

[@bikebudha01]

knobby back tires always wear out faster. My wife weighs a whopping 120lbs, and she'll burn through here rear gravel tire easily in less than a season. (She rides a lot). So much so we are in the habit of taking off the worn rear, moving the still good front to the rear, and just buying one new tire for the front...

[@mellissanash7517]

These do come in a 35mm, 40mm(labeled as 38mm) and 47mm in 700c size.

[@rotten-vacuum]

Even 45 in 700c 🧐

[@VexxJam]

One of my favorite tires…ever

[@adambishop9534]

Not a 50:50 weigth distribution

[@erikewald7264]

Rears wear out 3x faster than fronts. That's normal/the way things work. Some tires are just too light duty for use as rears. Mixing models ft & rr is common for Mtb riders btw Just replace the rear with something heavier duty for now.

[@sounddachboden5482]

Honestly, I’ve probably had them on my bike now for about 400km and they look like yours and I had almost no climbs but almost only level ground and they seem to be to soft or something. And I had a flat tyre the other day and after exchanging the tube, I couldn’t seem to get them into the tyre properly so the rear tyre wouldn’t wobble around as if the wheel itself had a problem...so not to happy with them at the moment.

[@Jean-jk4zv]

It's weird I got 5000km + with a pair of 29x2.1 they look like new. I never skid and ride almost everyday on mixed terrains. Three of our bikes are using those tires for months. No problems to report. Are you sure they are genuine tires and the latest graphene version ?

[@ajinkyabodke_]

​@@Jean-jk4zv are you using the g2.0,and would to hear your current review about them

[@kevinschryvers1824]

I’m assuming people aren’t rotating tires anymore?

[@lkb3rd]

Even standard road tires wear the rear faster.

[@smattgoss]

This is normal for the back to go first and stop pulling skids

[@gabrielmarias972]

Hi what width do you use? Thx

[@thecrowfliescrooked]

35

[@danvanhoose6783]

What's with the labored breathing.

[@Bottomburbsburnbums]

My Pirelli Gravel H (40mm, running tubeless) are only 230 miles old and the rear already has noticeable wear… Summer here in the UK so no need for anything more aggressive currently. I suspect it will not last as long as your Vittoria’s! Annoying and expensive.

[@thecrowfliescrooked]

Yeah it is. And because of covid tires are getting harder to find and they are a lot more expensive.

[@Bottomburbsburnbums]

@@thecrowfliescrooked Agree. Lots of supply issues here in the UK. I got mine from the strangely-named ‘Lordgun’ cycles in Italy. Cheaper than available locally, even with 2 day airfreight! Unsure of what tyres to go for next, winter is on its way, but love the speed of the nearly slick Pirelli’s..
