I just bought 5 of these myself. I've gone through 3 tubes in the last 2 weeks. 1 on my bike, 1 I gave to a neighbor, and the third onto my daughter's bike. I only have one spare left. I patch them in batches but I don't have any left to patch. I needed new anyway because I now ride a 700x28 tire in front and all of my tubes were up to 700x25. I know they will work anyway but now they're gone. These Vittorias are perfect because they are 25/28, not so big to fit a 32 or larger, and will still fit the 23 if necessary. Only my daughter's bike still has 23, in fact she has my tires that I replaced with 25 and 28.
