Answers
answer 1
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.

answer 2
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.

Hi,

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

http://www.sheldonbrown.com/tyre-sizing.html

That should answer your question.

Is this the new model with K320 casing?
Your item description says 240TPI, and was wondering if you could source the new 320TPI casing model, as seen on Vittoria's website.

What are the colour schemes?
I've seen these tyres on different websites. You show them with a green stripe in the middle and black sidewalls. Other websites show them with green sidewalls and a black centre. Which ones do you have in stock?

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

These tyres do not have a directional tread so you should be fine with them facing either way.
