Vittoria Zaffiro Pro Home Full Tyre Trainer - Red

Really good tyre for turbo trainer. A bit tight to fit but once once the wheel its perfect for your indoor turbo trainer.

This is the first proper turbo tyre I’ve bought, as usual (for me) I should have done it sooner. I’ve been using old road tyres but they are prone delamination and going flat. This turbo tyre runs much cooler, there is noise but it’s acceptable.

Much quieter than a normal road tyre. It was a bit difficult to get the tyre on the wheel, but once it was on it worked really well with the turbo trainer. Seems smooth to peddle.

I bought this trainer tyre to replace the 38c hybrid tyre from my old bike that I'm using on the trainer. My main reason for buying a trainer tyre was to reduce the noice from the knobbly fat tyre that was on my bike. The existing tyre was so noisy that I couldn't use the trainer indoors or even on decking outside my house. I'm pleased to say that this tyre has completely solved the noise problem. It is very quiet and I can use my trainer indoors now. The tyre arrived almost flat. There was no distinct sidewalls and tread areas so putting onto the rim was tricky as it had no shape. I put the tyre on the rim without a tube fairly easily though. I then tried to put my existing tube into the tyre but it was too fat and I had to order a 18c-25c tube which I was able to fit without levers although it did take a bit of brute force to get the final bit over the rim. I was concerned about nipping the tube as I fitted the tyre but all went well. This might be in part to the tube being pre-filled with anti-puncture fluid. I can't be sure. I really pleased with the tyre no that it is fitted and the wheel is back in the bike. I was exactly what I hoped for when I made the purchase.

Bought this to use with my Giant Roadbike and Tacx trainer. I could see my normal road tyres wearing away rapidly so decided to get a dedicated tyre. Only done around 100 miles of virtual rides but it does seem smoother and quieter that the road tyre and does not feel warm after a 30 km ride. Tyre was also very easy to fit. Some have mentioned that it can be a very tight fit but no problem with my Giant SR2 wheels. Can fit and remove without using tools. Will have to do more rides to rate the long term wear resistance.

I've tried 3 maybe 4 trainer tyres in the past decade but this one is now the go to. it's a little hard to fit and ended up putting the tyre in the bath with hot water to soften it then a bit of warm soapy water to fit to the rim. My advice is take your time fitting the tyre, you won't regret it.

Much quieter on the turbo, some rubber wear at first but durable, still going strong and no longer losing material

I found this fitted easily and works well
