Any body use Vittoria tyres. Just getting bike serviced but I am going to get a few more miles from the tyres before changing them. The bike shop stock Vittoria tyres so I was thinking maybe a change of tyre brands. Running Maxxis at the moment and happy with them but fancy a change. What do you say about them, good or bad. 👍

I have Mazza 29 x 2.6 up front and an E-Mazza 27.5 x 2.6 in the rear. Pretty stoked on this setup.

They measure actual about 2.47" width, which I consider ideal.

A few months ago I needed an emergency tyre from a bike shop after slicing a Double Down Maxxis DHR to death. Paid full retail for a Mazza. I can’t remember which compound it was but it lasted about half an hour before bursting. Plugged it, another hole appeared an hour later. Plugged again, and then another hole not long after 😆

It finally died completely and replaced it with a Specialised Cannibal T9 and never had an issue with that tyre since 👍🏽

Looking at the amount of views and comments it looks like these tyres are not very much used.

I rode a pair of Mazza Trail 2.4, tubeless and 27.5“, across the Alps in July, effectively analogue pedaling and some lift-assist up for enduro trails down. For how I ride, I am more than pleased with the rolling, grip and braking performance compared to the previous Conti Baron 2.4 in general, and to Maxxis DHF & DHR *in that context*. Size and weight are as specified, no burps or other issues. They could use a little more ‚damp stone‘ grip, so for the semi-continuous drizzle damp in the UK perhaps less than ideal - for where I am, these are staying on the bike.

Maybe the Mazza Enduro is better in that respect (but heavier?).

I also have an e-Agarro 2.4 29 on the rear of the Trek Fuel EXe. It rolls well and so far there have been no issues other than it is too round - the edge lugs hold a corner OK, but not when simply riding along one side of a damp and dusty sheep trail rut in the Peaks. I‘ll probably swap it out for the Mazza Trail.

FWIW I live in southern Germany, where wet/dry is generally more digital than the ‚grey zone’ damp in the UK.

To me, the mazza has great grip but wears too fast, good for bikes but not so much for the ebikes, having a softer carcass also makes it a little dificult to seal with plug, it needs internal patches to fix any tear.

That's why they do the E Mazza enduro its a different make up to the standard Mazza (y)

I am now riding the goodyear newton, 27,5 x 2.4, and found it the best, when compared to assegais, minions DH, mazzas. The newton is more expensive but goodyear quality is next level. I'll try the emazzas next time.

I’m rolling on my 2nd set of e-Mazza Enduro tires. I love them.

I’ve been using E-Aggaro’s for summer tyres.
They roll really well, work well enough but only when the trails are bone dry.
Show them anything wet, and forget it.
I want to try Conti’s next.

All of that said, if you like your Maxxis tires, just order new ones on Amazon. Have your LBS mount them for you or just do it yourself. It is really easy to do, even tubeless. Or ask the LBS to order you Maxxis tires.

I have used 2 combinations of Vittoria tyres: Agarros front and rear and the other one was a Mazza front and Martello rear. I quite liked the tyres, got them very cheaply a couple years back when Vittoria was coming out. Mazza is a very durable and grippy front tyre and I recall the Martello was fast rolling and great in dry trails. The Agarros roll nicely and are great for trail riding, when it is not muddy.

The Continental kryptotal I'm using at present there definitely worth a try in the future too (y)
But they are a pain in the rear to get on the rim….had to send mine back. Just would not stretch. Tried heating it soaping it….had one in the past that went on easier (onto the same rim) and loved it.

Been riding maxxis Dhr and Dhf and assegia tyres for years but getting ridiculous pricey a few months ago tried e-mazza front and rear enduro casing stood up to bike park wales, Scotland off piste no signs of wear no flats, fast rolling good grip in most conditions 2.4 very narrow but 2.6 great on my hunt enduro wide rims also good value at £49.00.

Had great luck with a 2.8 martello, sized more like a 2.6, rolled well and never punctured.

Then tried the e-mazza as I had seen some good reviews, I got it in 2.6. repeated punctures and ruined a rim because of it. Really confused why the mazza didn't hold up when the martello was rock solid.

I generally don't get on with maxxis or continental casings out back.

In the end I find schwalbe to be the only brand where I know I won't puncture, but the rubber wears out fast

I've suffered with this so many times, different tyres.....turned out to be the rim (Race Face ARC30).......Best thing I found was to use a tube, pump it up to 40ish PSI and leave 24 hrs; then take one side out to get the tube out, pop it back, and pump it back up.......normally works for me. Then add sealant.
