The Open Pave is a clincher, you will need a tube inside. Cheers

It's a normal tyre that requires an inner tube. It just rides like a tub.

Open tubular translates as clincher. You need the tube and a set of clincher wheels.

they're normal tires that require a normal inner tube.

It is a clincher tyre, it uses the same compound as tubulars, hence the name.

Mine were 320 TPI

The newest have a 320 TPI. Cheers

The ones I received recently were 320

TPI = Threads per inch, more tpi better tyre. In this tyre it's 320 tpi, all Vittoria evo tyres have 320tpi case since 2010.

2011 tyre is 320 and old version is 290

I have been riding a pair and notice they are not very wide and there is'nt much of a difference in width. I have a set of Specialized 25c and they are noticable wider. So, would say they are closer to 23c, even says 24.

Yes, it is suitable for a wheel that will take a 700x23 tire. Unless you have a bike with exceptionally small amount of tire clearance, you should be able to run this with no trouble.

yes

Hi,

If you measure your inner rim width, then consult the green and red chart here...

That should answer your question.

Yep the new model has 320 TPI. Cheers

Yes

I just got mine from Wiggle a couple of weeks ago. Yes, it's the new 320TPI model. I'm not even sure if one can find the 240 model anymore.

21/04/10 - I received my 320tpi tyres today.
So the answer is YES :)

I just got mine and they are green strip, black sides

The ones I recently received are green tread black sidwall

Vittoria Open Pave tires are black walled with a green centre, they are 'the' classics tire. I buy them and use them in rides like the Tour of Flanders and Sportives in bad weather. I have never punctured one - ever. They are expensive but superb and can't recommend them highly enough

Look at the outside tread pattern which should be like an arrow pointing forwards

There no arrows just beacuse you can mount them both ways. Just be sure the Vittoriasticker get's centered for the valve...

In general with Vittoria tyres always mount the tyre so that the sticker/ labels that are on the tyre side walls are on the right hand side

Don't think so but the green looks great!
