Unreliable
Purchased on Mantel , mounted on Campagnolo Bora One rims , after 100 km on very clean asphalt roads ( no pave' or bumpy roads !! ) I report two punctures in two outings , one with a tiny cut of the clincher, the other invisible .. puncture resistance non-existent for these vaunted clinchers and reliability compromised by the damage .. money and trust misplaced . I do not recommend purchase for amateur use ...
Pros & Cons

Dissatisfied with tires.
Grip outweighs amount of inner tubes due to extremely frequent punctures.

Attention
New tires after 100 km on a slight downhill curve came off the rim...be careful! I broke my collarbone.

Nice tires but incredibly quick punctures....
This tire is touted as puncture resistant but practice proves otherwise. In two rides with wet roads, I had a total of 5 punctures.

Super fast leak
Not even 500 km on the tire and already 11 punctures.....what bizarrely bad tires

Torn sidewalls in less than 700kms
Bought in April, my rear tire exploded on September 20th on a cool, dry, sunny outing... Yet I don't over-inflate (7.5 bar) A priori the bead wires are fragile..... I can't imagine what would have happened to me down the Iseran this summer... It's a shame, because in terms of look and feel, it was really good, but safety comes first.

Fine band with one major drawback
It rides wonderfully smooth and in corners you can just hear how much grip you have because of the coarser tread on the sides. Unfortunately, my heart was broken by puncturing in three consecutive rides due to small sharp pebbles/sand grains apparently easily poking into the inner tube in the small space between the black strips. I feared that three times in such a short time was no longer a coincidence, so I ran back to that German competitor.

Is not worth its money !!!
The sidewall cannot take much, with the result that the tire is no longer nicely rounded !!!
Pros & Cons
2 / 5
Expectations crushed hard
Have driven 400 km with it now and punctured 2x. Both times in wet weather. I ride with the 25mm and 7bar due to my weight and 19c rim. Have ridden faster tires, these look like tractor tires. That they roll a little less was known to me, but that bad.... For me no Corsa Control G2 again.
Pros & Cons
2 / 5
Fragile and wears out quickly.
I thought I'd found a good all-round tire, but I didn't. There's a lot of hype around this tire, but in the end, it's not crazy at all. It's far from the qualities and performance of the GP5000. The Vittoria's rubber breaks down quickly, the lines retain crud on the tire and cause punctures, the sidewalls are super fragile and wet grip leaves a lot to be desired. I've only done 2,500km with them, and they're rinsed... 12 or 13 punctures in all, the tread is full of holes and the rubber has melted visibly. In the dry, provided the tires are new, grip is pretty good. So I'm going back to GP5000s (4000km minimum).
Pros & Cons

Leaky as a sieve
This is absolutely not a tire for winter. Without exaggeration in the first 1000 km 8 punctures. Both front and rear. Admittedly, they do look nice.
Pros & Cons
2 / 5
Wears out quickly, often punctures, a mediocre tire.
Moderate tire, punctures quickly and often, tears quickly, wears out quickly and can hardly be put around the rim without an aid. All in all, a (very) mediocre tire. Too bad.
Pros & Cons
2 / 5
Continuous punctures disappointed
Very good aesthetics, good rolling but I had never punctured as with these tires. Compared to the Continental Gran Prix 4000 the difference in punctures is beastly. With the Conrinental in the last 3000 kms 1 puncture. With the Vittoria 600 kms 3 punctures.
Pros & Cons
2 / 5
There are better tires on the market.
Personally, I think they are not going in the right direction with the graphene series. The 2.0 is also unconvincing. Switched to the peacestein fortezza senso superiore. Fine smooth tire. Good tread.
Pros & Cons

Moeilijk op te leggen!
Continental 5000s gewoon, deze leggen veel gemakkelijker op dan Vittoria. Toeval of niet maar 2x lek op 1000 km. Ogen wel heel mooi.

Is this normal?
They look the absolute business but as for quality I am not sure. Have been riding on normal roads for several hundred miles and already side wall has a hole? Expect more at this price point.
3 / 5
Very hard to get on
I nicked three inner tubes trying to get these tyres on having got the tyre on pumping them up to find out they have a hole x3 time . Getting them off was even harder
Pros & Cons
3 / 5
Nice tire, scores poorly on puncture resistance, poor value for money
In itself not a bad tire, but certainly not a topper. I have now ridden 1250km with these tires and have already had 3 punctures. I think that's a lot, especially for a tire that is supposed to do just fine on this property. And I think I've been lucky, because often I've seen little stones in the rubber that just haven't gone through the layer. I must add that the 1250km were driven in the winter months, with often bad weather. Furthermore, it is far too expensive compared to tires of comparable quality.
Pros & Cons

Will not buy this model again
Poor puncture resistance. A shame as it's otherwise a good tire.
Pros & Cons
3 / 5
Good looks, some compromise on handling.
I am evaluating this tire versus the two other types I have/had in use on this and another wheelset; the Cont GP4000 (on my mountain wheels) and Vredestein For. Sen. AllWheather (on my polder wheels), all 25mm and use in spring/summer/autumn in mostly dry weather. Durability Vittoria CCG2: not ridden enough yet to judge, C4000GP: best performance of these 3 tires, unfortunately no longer available Vred FSAW: completely flat side after +/- 5000km. Grip: Vittoria CCG2: fine grip, in corners the tire 'floats' a bit more and I find it doesn't feel very sure and steers sharply. C4000GP: Excellent performance Vred FSAW: Best tire in handling and steering of these 3, Rolling resistance: Vittoria CCG2: seems to roll a tad heavier than the other two tires I have (had) C4000GP: Good rolling performance Vred FSAW: Good rolling performance . Puncture resistance: Vittoria CCG2: ridden 200km, no punctures. C4000GP: 7000km never puncture Vred FSAW: 5000km never puncture.
Pros & Cons
3 / 5
Expensive mis-sale
Especially chose the control G2 for its puncture resistance compared to the faster Corsa G2. After 5 rides already in need of replacement by puncturing both front and rear (during separate rides)! 2 times the same problem, small stones get stuck between the grooves, which are so specific to this tire, and puncture very easily through the tire. Anyway back to the continental GP's, never had any problems with them!
Pros & Cons
3 / 5
Stick to standard Vittoria Corsa for racing or Vittoria Rubino for training.
Service and purchase experience with Mantel was great. Quickly delivery, quick and easy purchase process. Unfortunately the Vittoria Corsa Next tyres did not not live up to the expectation I have for Vittoria tyres. I've raced on Vittoria Corsa Control clinchers for a few years and used Vittoria Rubinos for winter training for years. The Vittoria Corsa Next was easy to setup tubeless but this will depend on your wheelset. The thread on Corsa Next on my rear tyres delaminated from the tyre casing after approx 2500km. For comparison I would usually get approx 4000km from a Corsa Control clincher which is supposedly a less robust tyre. A few teammates has also experienced this delamination with the Corsa Next. The ride feel and grip from Corsa Next is not close to that of the Corsa Control. I found that the range of pressures to get any decent comfort and grip from Corsa Next was very small, around 5psi. I was running them at 72psi rear and 65psi front. Any pressures above or below the above figures by more than 3 psi and the tyres felt even worse. For reference rider + bike weight of 82kg.

really great tyre for winter
I use tubular Corsa,s on my summer bike ,so I thought I would try the Corsa Control tyres on my winter bike using Latex tubes. Really Nice ride quality with good grip on the corners no negatives to report.
Pros & Cons
4 / 5
Surefooted and dependable
A very good tyre for either racing or touring with good grip in all conditions. They are light and give reasonable puncture protection even on poor surfaces. Perfect for Spring to Autumn but may be not be durable enough for winter conditions. I highly recommend them especially if you race as they are very light as well as looking good.

Good but expensive
Good tire that I have been using for two years. Expensive but high quality. You have to be careful that the grooves are not small that can puncture it. I recommend cleaning it with a cloth after each use.

Perfect grip
The feel and confidence on this tire are perfect. The tire is only sensitive to holes from small stones.

Delighted with my first outing
I've always ridden Michelin tires and my first impression of the Vittoria tires is that they're very pleasant, safe and comfortable. I haven't ridden them enough to give a better opinion yet.

good price/quality ratio
Although I did not get to test the tires in the Tour of Flanders, for which they were purchased, they came out particularly well on the Posbank.

Durable outer tires
I have been riding these Vittoria outer tires for several years. I have been able to ride over 5000 km with one set. Unfortunately, the last time I put new ones on, I did have an immediate puncture due to a sharp pebble sitting through the side of the tire. Shit Happens! But it does seem to me that the side of the tire is the most vulnerable. Otherwise, the tire runs well and fitting the tire is very smooth.

Smoothly on its way!
The tire has excellent grip and still rides smoothly. Less fragile than the "regular" version that punctured easily.

A fast tire with a super look!
I am extremely satisfied with the tire. After the first few kilometers with it, the tire feels fast and at every moment after enough grip. The optics pleases me to by the Skinwall flank extremely well.

Top straps
As a former Top Boxer , I cycle regularly with a former professional cyclist , this man of course cycles much faster than me , so it was about time to upgrade my bike and give it a new look , well I succeeded with these beautiful tires . just the color alone is Top , and they have great grip .

Wear and tear, but worth it.
Combined with latex tubes, I like these tires very much. In 2 years I have not had a flat. The tires do wear out quite quickly and pick up stones. Last week I put a 'normal' tube on the tire and immediately suffered a flat (coincidence or not). My experience is that these outlands need to be replaced faster than other types, but in combination with latex tubes I definitely recommend them!
Pros & Cons
4 / 5
Top tire at a good price.
The tires ride perfectly so far, haven't gone flat with them yet even though I've ridden a lot of bad roads and cobblestone. Makes your bike look better so an extra plus after the good comfort and riding experience.

A very good rolling tire
First of all my compliments on the fast delivery from Mantel really very fast done. The tires meet my expectations perfectly. First time always a bit tricky fitting but eventually succeeded pretty quickly. Have the idea that I experience less rolling resistance with these tires. They also look very fast. All in all very happy with this purchase.
Pros & Cons
4 / 5
face and function
When the bike's standard tires needed replacing, I picked something that would look nice and be functional. Functional for me is puncture resistance because I lose more time changing a tube along a road than I do due to rolling resistance. The standard Bontrager tires were wearing out nicely after 2000km and this set is holding up just fine. That you get a puncture once is inevitable, not every piece of glass can be spotted and bypassed. Unfortunately the choke seems to have a drawback, 25mm is a big job to put around my rim - it just barely manages. But expected functionality prevails for now, not a penny of pain in Dutch conditions during the four seasons.

nice skinwall tire, with fine tread. After 3500 km the rear tire is worn out,

Top tire, until the road gets wet.....
Perfect tire for all road types! Fast, lots of grip and a good for the eye. The surface is a bit rough, so when it rains a lot of sand and gravel sticks to it. Then it is a matter of time before one of the pebbles is pushed through the tire. In short, a top tire until the road gets wet.

Good tire for good asphalt
These outlands clearly show a difference on well-paved tracks. You can almost literally feel the reduced rolling resistance. This tire is not recommended for long cobblestone lanes though as they slip more easily.
Pros & Cons

Good compromise
I don't find we have great smoothness, and compared to the predecessors the side seams last a little less. However, it is really impossible to puncture

Nice rolling tire
After several years with GP4000II (very puncture resistant) I switched back to cotton sidewall tires after years of riding with Veloflex. Veloflex I rode with the occasional flat, but for now these are holding up great! Recommended.

Very fine tyres with top rolling characteristics. I have the 28mm. Pump them up to 5 bar and you have a wonderfully smooth rolling tyre. Especially with vittoria latex inner tubes.

Good tyre, but still a luxury given the price.
The tyres are efficient and well worth a conti GP 5000, the only downside is that small stones can get lodged in the grooves and we'll have to see how they wear over time.

Unreal tyres. Noticeable difference to speed and comfort.
I took some time researching tyres and various aspects of why to purchase. The high TPI, low rolling resistance and 28mm width have made a significant difference. Noticeably smoother ride even with standard butyl inner-tubes and faster than I'd expected at lower pressure. They also look mega with gum sidewalls. Just superb tyres, great purchase process, delivery & follow up. Thanks!

Transformed ride
Bought a pair for my £400 racer after hearing good reports from a friend. They are hard work to fit but it’s worth it. The ride of my bicycle has been transformed, They must be more supple than my previous pair (Kenda Koncept) So a lot less vibration through my arms and saddle.

A Tyre that gives you confidence on country roads.
I was running continental ultra sports on country roads which gave high top speeds but lacked the grip. I am now happy with these corsa control tyres as they give good grip, are right for the local roads.

Quality tyre, with a race feel and durability for training too.
Use these tyres for training and racing, I find them to be sure footed with reliable grip and durability. Not the cheapest, but Mantel’s competitive pricing has really helped! Service from Mantel has been superb, kept fully informed and delivery was quicker than expected…… thank you!!
