vittoria terreno dry

any feedback on these newish G+ tires from vittoria? available in 700x31, 33 and 40. tread pattern looks promising to me with a nice smooth center section, so these should be pretty fast on hard surfaces with some bike on the looser stuff. tubeless ready for those that care about such things...thoughts?

The tread pattern looks quite similar to 'Sammy Slicks', which I have used and like. They do roll fast on hard surfaces, yes. It's a pretty versatile tread pattern. What you posted looks interesting.

Might need some more tread for Reno2Cino Redux.

They should be good for mixed surface riding and cross bike singletrack stuff, what people around here (Boston) think of as gravel riding even though the surface isn't remotely similar to gravel. I had one of the last generation of Vittoria cx tubeless tires, the grifo tread one, and it always rode weird, felt like I was constantly hitting the rim even though I rode it at a variety of pressures. I never flatted it though. Not sure what to make of that. Probably just me being a weirdo.

Anyway aside from that tangent, I'd totally ride these in 40 over the summer for reckless adventures or 33 for early season CX races. You really don't need much center tread if it's dry unless it's really loamy.
