Vittoria Corsa G+ 25mm Width Photos versus Pave

[drewskey]

Just as a matter of internet record, I figured I would upload the comparison between a Vittoria Pave 25mm and Pave 27mm laid flat compared to the new Corsa G+ 25mm. I was taking off the Pave after a successful Rouge Roubaix.

The 25mm G+ and the 27mm Pave are the same casing width.


Here is the 25 Pave on top of the 25 G+. Note how the G+ is wider.


Here the 25 G+ and 27 Pave are laid on each other. They are the same size.

This mirrors my experience that the Paves run narrow, although based on anecdotal evidence they can also plump up to their advertised width depending on the rim they're being mounted on.

Interesting. Thanks for this. I was considering the G + Corsa for the C40, but there is barely enough clearance between the seat tube and the Pave 25s as is. Darn.

I have Pave 27s on my C40 - tight clearance, to be sure, but they fit - and have G+ 25s waiting in the wings for the spring/summer. Will report back with my results

interesting because I just went from the 27mm paves to 28mm corsa g and the corsas are only a mm or so bigger than the paves.

on the paves running narrow, that is not my experience on 23mm rims (archtype), they measured exactly 27mm.

It all really is a YMMV kinda situation here, isn't it?

Your rims may vary.

Follow up, the Corsa G+ 25mm measures exactly the same as the GP4000 SII.

FWIW, my Corsa G+ 25mm measure 27mm on a Stan's 340 rim (IIRC these are 17mm inside width). Nice riding tires.

For comparison, on these same rims, Michelin Pro 4 SC 25mm measured just under 28mm.
