Vittoria Corsa Pro tire review - supreme performance, but worth the cost?

The latest Corsa Pro is seriously rapid, and the issues with expeditated tire wear seem to have been addressed - but does that justify their lofty price?

Cycling Weekly Verdict

The Vittoria Corsa Pro tires are probably the fastest tires that I’ve used. The grip is brilliant and they roll incredibly fast. They’re not too difficult to install, either, and hold they their pressure well with relatively little sealant to keep weight down for race day gains. At $99.99 / £90.00 they are probably the most expensive big brand tires on the market, but I would argue the speed they give you is worth the cost, especially over ceramic bearings and other far more expensive and far more marginal gains.
