The Vredestein Fortezza Senso All Weather road bike tyre is ideal for the changeable weather at this time of year (perhaps all year round!) offering great grip in both wet and dry conditions, and on variable road surfaces.

We found the tyres could go pretty deep in the bends, providing a number of warning signs before hitting their grip limit. The expected pay off with winter tyres is that you lose rolling speed in order to gain more grip and puncture resistance, but unlike many heavy-duty alternatives these rolled really well.

With the fast rolling and good grip, we’d go as far to say Vredestein’s All Weather tyres could take you through much of the year. After a few hundred miles, in some gritty Autumnal conditions, the tyres have resisted the usual wear and cuts, and so far there have not been any punctures. But then at £40 each, we would expect longevity.
