700x40 Flex Bead Gravel Tyre Terreno Zero Tubeless Ready - Black

The Tubeless TNT, extreme puncture protection!

The Vittoria Gravel tyres use a puncture-resistant layer on the carcass under the tread. It is made of nylon, which is durable but lightweight. The Tubeless TNT versions use two nylon layers on the sidewall. They protect the sides of the tyre from cuts and perforations from stones and spines. This TNT construction makes the tyre very sturdy and durable, which is suitable for riding with or without an inner tube.

Graphene

The Vittoria gravel tyres use a unique Graphene component. The one on the central tread minimises rolling resistance and perforations while extending its life span. The shoulder zone uses 2 distinct Graphene components. The base component provides a stable base for loads on turns while ensuring protection from cuts. The surface component provides ultimate confidence on turns, both on dry and wet ground.

How to measure tyre wear

To measure the wear on your road tyres and to know when they need replacing, you need to inspect the tread. Signs of wear include:

- tread starting to fray

- the appearance of a series of micro cracks

- low tread depth

- the carcass becomes visible.

In all these cases the tyre is worn and needs replacing.

How to remove a tyre

To remove your tyre, deflate the inner tube until no more air comes out.

Then separate the tyre from the rim with a tyre lever.

How to inflate your tyre correctly

Inflate the tyre with caution.

The recommended pressure is indicated on the tyre's sidewall and its product sheet (available online).

Before each outing, make sure that your tyres are at the correct pressure for your ride.

The professional's advice

During inflation, it is important to obtain the right pressure depending on the terrain and especially depending on the weather.

If you ride in rainy weather, feel free to lower the tire pressure to increase its grip.

When riding in dry weather, you can increase the pressure for better performance.
