Id read early reviews saying this was a good ride, but also complaints that it didnt hold air and was hard to mount. I mounted them on DT Swiss Spline 24 rims using Stanss Notubes rim tape and 3 oz. of Stans standard sealant and have had zero problems, and no pressure loss, even over a two week layoff for that bike. The ride and handling have exceeded my expectations. A great all-road tire.
I bought this to replace a tire (Schwalbe Pro One) on my wife's Specialized Creo. Was easy to get on the rim (Roval C38) and seat. She likes the ride and usually runs it at 70 psi. She's got about 500 miles on it and has yet to get a puncture. Looks very similar to the Pro One with the tan wall.
Haven't ridden it yet, but mounted it yesterday. It was a challenge! Though the tire went on the rim easily and without levers, getting the beads to seat was difficult. Couldn't get the bead pre-seated all the way around. Definitely requires taking valve stem out of the valve and definitely requires a compressor. Once seated, some leakage was evident. However, once the sealant was swished around inside the wheel, the leaks between the bead and rim were sealed. I'm looking forward to riding it and hope the durability and ride quality warrant the work it took to get it mounted.
The Pirelli Cinturato Velo 700c Road Tire was fatter than the typical 700c x 28mm from other similar tires. The tire felt heavy during acceleration in my estimation. The clearance fork in my road bike was similar to a 32 mm tire
Pirelli makes a great tire, but this one was not what I thought it would be.
Good price & very helpful personnel
Pirelli tires have great traction and low rolling resistance.

I only have one ride on these, so this review is about installation. They were a bit tight on my Boyd 36's, but I was able to ease thw install by using Park's new tire levers. Also takes a bit of sealant to seal these, but they hold air well after initial sealant step.
Use the 700x35, set up as tubless on our tandem. Larger volume provides comfort. Get more mileage than other brand tubeless tires.
I was looking for a more durable tubeless tire than the PZero TLRs which lasted me about 2000 miles. So far so good with these tire. They do feel a bit slower, but very grippy and predictable even on wet descents.
I got these for my new gravel bike. They are just perfect. Great traction and comfort on wet surface. No flats since. I also got the 26c for my old road bike and do not regret it. I use to ride Conti's, but I thought they were overrated, and wanted to try something new. Did some research on reddit, and decided to give them a try. Glad I did.
Super durable with reasonably low rolling resistance and acceptable grip. My go to training tire or mixed conditions race tire.
Def. Of reliable: used as tubeless, avg 300mi/wk, 190lbs on a Lynks, DT swiss wheels: no flats for one year, ride beautifully, even when cornering. Only sad part? When I wear through and have to buy new ones.
These tubeless tires ride perfectly! I ride road, titanium frame and Sram axs about 150 mi/wk. Tires are comfy, grip and corner well. So far, they are wearing well.
Lots of grip. Darn good puncture protection. Bueno bueno!
This product has a good reputation.
I love these tires. Lots of tread depth, tough as nails, rolling resistance is decent, and they mount up easily. What's not to like?
Definitely my go-to for training.
after dealing with two sets of defective goodyear eagles i switched these pirelli tires. i have now a little over 900 miles on them and they are perfect. they were not difficult to mount and hold air as good or better than any tube or tubeless tire i have used in the past. i am using orange sealant. i climb and descend mountain roads. i often exceed 50 mph and sweep through turns at over 35 mph on these tires.
I bought these tires to replace Schwalbe Pro One Tubeless tires. Those tires are great for racing but I had bad luck with flatscuts when I used them for training. So far these Pirelli Cinturato Tubeless are working well. Mounting them took a little more effort than lighter weight tires but was not overly difficult. Upon mounting, the tires did lose pressure quickly until the sealant filled in around the bead, now the tires are holding air very well! I will be interested to see how long these tires last.
