Rain on cobblestones creates a specific kind of uncertainty—the surface looks rideable until the front wheel washes out mid-corner. The Corsa PRO Control addresses those conditions with a herringbone tread pattern that the standard Corsa PRO lacks, providing additional mechanical grip when the compound alone isn't enough. Vittoria builds this tire for the days when professionals swap their race tires at the start line because weather moved in overnight or the route includes sectors of rough pavement where slicks become a liability.

The foundation remains the same 320 TPI cotton-corespun casing that makes the entire Corsa PRO line feel connected to the road surface. Cotton fibers combined with aramid reinforcement deliver the suppleness that lets the tire conform to irregular surfaces while maintaining puncture resistance. The Control adds a slightly thicker tread than the standard model, which increases protection against the sharp edges of cobbles, gravel intrusions, and broken pavement without fundamentally changing the tire's character. You still get the Corsa ride quality with a margin of safety for rough conditions.

Vittoria's Graphene + Silica Race Formulation compound handles the grip requirements across the tread surface. The reinforced compound mix provides elevated side grip for confidence at lean angles on wet tarmac, where the herringbone pattern channels water away from the contact patch. Electrical curing eliminates seams in the tire construction, producing a smoother, more balanced tire that rolls consistently at speed. An anti-puncture belt beneath the tread and a bead shield at the rim interface add protection where tubeless setups concentrate stress.... Read More
