Got a garage full of old tyres that never quite got thrown out that would just love to be traded into new ones

Does this mean I can just walk into the Cardiff Evans with two of my old tyres, lay them on the counter, and get two Vittoria Corsa G+ Isotech for £30?!?

If so, I'm on it!

No thanks. The geax/vitoria goma's were without doubt the least grippy tyres I have ever owned. Borderline dangerous on the front.
Would not buy the brand again no matter how cheap they are.

I suspect you'll find any new tyre developed since vittoria acquired geax uses significantly better casing and rubber compounds.

Wonder if this includes 26x4 Bombolinis?

Who has a fatbike and lives near a Vittoria stockist? 😀

I thought Vittoria always owned Geax rather than 'acquired' them.

I had some in the sticky compound, and whilst I can imagine the "non stick" compound must be pretty hard, they roll pretty fast for how knobbly they are... I like them.

I had the stickies. Ok as a rear in a slip slide sideways sort of way, quite fun actually 😀
I don't begrudge spending £40 a tyre for a maxis or shwarble these days. Years on a motorbike taught me not to skimp on tyres.

Really? I've got Barzos on mine and wouldn't mind another set for when they wear out.

However, when I Google it I get this tread and nothing from Vittoria.

Hmm might pay 700c a call. I'm a big fan of Corsa G+ and Paves having run both skinwall and anthracite. Grippy as a grippy thing.

They've had some adverts about this in some of the magazines but it seems to be a secret apart from that. And if I search for Vittoria dealers, first it says "We have loads of dealers so this might take a while" and then it says "none found"...

Both my local bike shops are doing it, one giving any vittoria tyres (MTB mind, no road tyres or cx) the other only giving Vittoria Mezcals.

I'd suggest giving yer lbs a call, instead of loafing.... 😆
