Reviews over the
Pirelli Cinturato Velo TLR
3 / 5
Just waiting to see if this was a good buy
After only 12 km we had a leak. Hopefully this was just a coincidence.

Strong tyre, easy to make tubeless, but slow
Tubeless fitting on my DT Swiss wheels with 18mm rim went smoothly with an ordinary floor pump. Very puncture-resistant tyre but so is the Conti 4Seasons. This weekend I did a test: 2x the same 60 km round trip under the same weather conditions. On my Continental 4 seasons with inner tube on my 'heavy' wheelset, I was 1 minute faster than the tubeless Pirelli's on the lighter DT Swiss wheels. So they are little different, but I don't really see the advantages of tubeless and for me they don't outweigh the disadvantage that the sealant is quite a mess to clean. Even if you get a puncture and the sealant seals the hole, you spend the time later cleaning your frame and clothes. Changing the outer tyre is also quite a task compared to a normal inner tube.

The tyre is a little hard for soft rods...

Good winter tyre, but with a lot of rolling resistance
Nice tyre for winter use. Rolling resistance is high, though
