I got a pair of Vittoria Atlanta tubulars from a friend, his wife used them on the track. Anyone ride on the road with these tires? They say kevlar on the side. Very little info on-line.

Thanks in advance

Yes, yellow/gold tread with cotton sidewalls, great looking tire.

Not great tires. Puncture prone, not the best ride, the rubber tends to slip on steep bankings. Some World Cup teams use them for time trial and team sprint efforts because they can actually be quite fast, but only for certain applications. Better tire alternatives available today, starting with the Vittoria Evo Pistas.
