Vittoria Peyote Tire - 29in for Sale, Reviews, Deals and Guides

Tire worked well, fairly grippy when leaned over and fast rolling. I found there are other tires that transition better and have since moved away from these tires. I've had 5 or so vittoria tires in multiple casings and have to comment them on tire quality. The tire did wear quickly ( I also found this to be the case with the Vittoria Barzo)

Nice grippy tire, great price.

I have ridden and raced this tire on most trail conditions this year. I have also ridden the Barzo and Mezcal. This seems to me to be the most utilitarian of the bunch, meaning that it is fast enough and grippy enough. The Mezcal is faster, (I use it only on the rear), but it is also more susceptible to damage. The Peyote is still grippy in damp soils, but if really sloppy, I would choose the Barzo. I have used both TNT and regular versions of this tire and run both tubeless without any problems. The non-TNT version rolls faster and is lighter. If not too many sharp rocks, you will have no problem with it.

I just wanted to submit a follow-up review because I've now really put these through their paces. They wear out in about 250-300 miles still, but I think they do last longer on my full-suspension than they did on the hardtail. Still great flat protection even on the non TNT version and they seat up fine on my DT Swiss XR331 rims. I put extra Stan's in. These are FAST and still have bite, but DO NOT run it on the rear, it just has far too short of a lifespan compared to others on the market, like Maxxis. My front tire looks new, my rear looks like it's been on the bike for 5 years, both are 3 weeks old.

I've ridden Continental X-King tires for years. I finally switched to these b/c of the good reviews and they looked more XC. They are light, I run them tubeless just fine even in rock-garden infested Utah. They corner well and the wide spacing makes them incredibly versatile. Put them on and forget about them... ...forget about them until they wear out. My rear wore out after 275 hot summer miles. I ride pretty hard, but this was soon than I had hoped. The front is still going strong. I replaced the rear with the Barzo so look for a review coming on that.

This tire is versatile, and the one I find myself reaching for most often. Based on the open tread pattern, you might think it doesn't roll as fast, but the lower profile and shape of the center knobs makes sure that there's little resistance on fast hardpack. What I really like about this tire is how it will chew up chunky looseness or moist loam equally well. The wide spacing is incredibly confidence-inspiring while cornering and braking. I've had a ton of fun with the 2.25 TNT version of these, and am running them at much lower pressure than I usually do. If there's one word I would use to sum up this tire, it would be "control". It's the perfect tool to make your bike do what you want it to.

A fast rolling tire with a lot of volume, you'd think at first that it would be purely a "fast course" tire, but actually I've found myself using this tire more for trail riding than XC riding. Particularly when the ground has a difficult mix of loose-over-hard-pack. The open spaces on the tire allow the rubble a place to go and the knobs to hook up. Equally pleasing is how well the tire rides on sidewalk smooth trails, regardless of the surface. Its decent when things get wet, just don't call it a mud tire...but who rides in the mud, anyway. Its 2015, not 1996.
