Vittoria extends Corsa Pro Control sizing up to 42 mm

Wide road tires are pretty clearly here to stay. Vittoria is the latest to jump in with high-end rubber made in ever larger sizes. Its Corsa Pro Control was already available up to 700 x 34 mm wide, and the brand has now extended that with 38 and 42 mm options. All the tires use the same 320 tpi cotton casing and the Race Formulation rubber compound. The size range now spans from 26 mm to 42 mm; that 26 mm is the narrowest underscores just how much the optimal size window has shifted for road tires. Just 10 years ago the brand would have stocked 23 and even 21 mm options. The new tires retail for US$107/€96 and are available immediately.
