Vittoria Urbano Tire

Yes. The tire features an interlocking v-groove tread pattern specifically designed to channel water away from the contact patch, which helps maintain traction on wet city streets.

This model uses a wire bead. While this makes the tire slightly heavier and less compact than folding versions, it provides a very secure fit on the rim and is a standard, durable choice for daily commuting.

The Vittoria Urbano is sized at 26 x 1.75 inches with an ISO width of 559. It is compatible with standard 26-inch wheels, making it a great choice for converting older mountain bikes into efficient city commuters.

The sidewall includes integrated reflective elements that catch light from vehicle headlights. This significantly improves your side-profile visibility to drivers when riding in low-light conditions or at night.

TPI stands for Threads Per Inch. A 26 TPI casing is built to be robust and puncture-resistant, prioritizing long-term durability and reliability over the lightweight, supple feel found in higher TPI racing tires.
